Now Playing at La MaMa Theatres
Interviews with Two Strangers | June 16 – 28
A video installation about the ways we connect in a machine-coded world, this project is made in collaboration with nine theatre practitioners who have helped shape the history of NYC’s downtown experimental theatre scene. In a series of framed encounters, each participant engages in two conversations: one with a chatbot programmed to simulate the artist’s conversation style and acting as her proxy, followed by an in-person discussion with the artist herself. The chatbot interaction is saved in text; while the in-person dialogue is recorded as video.
Pairings | June 22-28
Each night, an interdisciplinary musician and movement artist come together to create a one-of-a-kind performance, improvised live in the moment.
MIGRATION DIARY. NEW YORK CITY EDITION | June 25 – 28
In New York, four migrant artists turn their biography of dislocation into a creative act,
rewriting the city map according to their own language, culture and memories.
