“When artificial intelligence takes over human intelligence, how will people be treated?”
Set in a public meeting, this bold theater work, crafted and performed by an ensemble of neurodivergent actors, weighs the balance of individual and collective responsibility in a democracy. As the actors engage in political debate and community conversation, their narrative considers human rights, sexual politics, and relationships with technology. Inspired by mistakes, misreadings, and misunderstanding, The Shadow Whose Prey the Hunter Becomes is a funny and poignant theatrical revelation that asks how people come together to make decisions that are in the best interest of a civic society.
The Shadow Whose Prey the Hunter Becomes is part of the performance program for All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace, and curated by Katy Dammers and Edgar Miramontes.
All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace is part of more than 60 exhibitions and programs presented as part of PST ART. Returning in September 2024 with its latest edition, PST ART: Art & Science Collide, this landmark regional event explores the intersections of art and science, both past and present. PST ART is presented by Getty. For more information about PST ART: Art & Science Collide, please visit pst.art
