Hello Hi There

Posted by Directed by Annie Dorsen, Steirischer Herbst (Graz), Hebbel am Ufer (Berlin), BIT Teatergarasjen (Bergen), Black Box Teater (Oslo), PS122 COIL Festival (NYC) (2010), USA | 20th May 2000 | IOTF 2020: Extended, Theatre and AI

“Hello Hi There” uses the famous 1970s television debate between the philosopher Michel Foucault and linguist/activist Noam Chomsky as inspiration and material for a dialogue between two custom-designed chatbots: every evening, these computer programs, designed to mimic human conversations, perform a new – as it were, improvised – live text. Annie Dorsen’s remarkable piece asks profound questions about what constitutes performance. Human interaction is given a new dimension in “Hello Hi There” as Dorsen thrillingly explores Foucault comment that debating with Chomsky was “like talking to someone from a different species.” ONE DAY ONLY! MAY 20!
