In this new creation, a human performer interacts with an original artificial intelligence model with performance abilities – AROA (Artificial Relational Ontological Agent) – trained on poetic and philosophical material.
Through real and improvised dialogues, the actor Albano Jerónimo and AROA will think about touch, consciousness and the future of coexistence between species. Without giving into techno-pessimism, the work asserts the body as a place of transformation and promotes the strengthening of interspecies dialogue as a possibility for the future, where data and flesh, algorithms and affections can share a hybrid space that is sensitive, political and artistic.
In an encounter between art, technology and philosophy, an expanded stage integrates advanced technology, proposing a new grammar for contemporary theatre, revitalising it as a space of experimentation between languages, temporalities and different intelligences.
4 seats for people with reduced mobility are available. They must be purchased in person, at our ticket office, or by phone call.
Biographies
-
Carincur
Carincur is a transdisciplinary artist and researcher exploring post-human art creation techniques. In her practice, she weaves the image of the human being into a hybrid with technology. By working with extended realities (VR/AR/MR), artificial intelligence, acoustic phenomena, visual perceptions, and the voice as a device for synthesis, she seeks to create trans-synthetic and post-human voices to understand the transitions between organic and digital bodies. Her work has been released by Weathervane Recs, Extended Records, Culturgest, and ZABRA – Center for Post-Human Art Research, where she is also co-director.

João Pedro Fonseca
João Pedro Fonseca (Lamego, 1990) is a transdisciplinary artist based in Lisbon whose work lies at the intersection of art, technology, and speculative thought. His artistic research focuses on themes such as cyber-spirituality, transcendence, xenomorphism, molecular faith, artificial intelligences, and the immaterial properties of existence. Among his works are ‘Wired Dreams’ (2023) and ‘No More Fireworks’ (2023). His career includes presentations at venues such as Sónar Lisboa, Lux Frágil, Teatro do Bairro Alto and ModaLisboa.
