THIS EVENT HAS PASSED
PRESENTED BY Sam Pout
This is the book of Genesis 2, and AI is our saviour. No famine, no war, just you and me, and that person I wish was you instead.

“What I’m asking for isn’t any kind of computer error. What she would call a malfunction, I would call human nature.”

This is the book of Genesis 2. The world is scarred by war, and environmental catastrophe has caused living to become unbearable. The last resort for Earth’s remaining population is to put its future in the hands of AI technology known as IONA.

No famine, no disease, and a relatively good (fun but could be better) sex life; Alex and Murphy live in the perfect virtual world. However, IONA’s perfect programming is undermined as deeply buried desires are unearthed; lost memories return and the simple binary life starts to collapse.

Exploring religion, morality and the chaos of sexuality, this bold new play creates a landscape stretching from lush fields and scorching deserts to a place of pure desolation.

A brand-new queer sci-fi thriller from debut writer Sam Pout (★★★★★ The Brave Anthology). Having premiered at Mountview Academy in 2021, it now features as part of Omnibus Theatre’s first ever AI Festival. Previous work of Sam’s has featured at Omnibus Theatre, Vaults and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe meeting critical acclaim.
