Distant Memories of the Near Future

Offie nominated for Video Design in 2025.

Welcome to the (near) future. Enter a world where romance has been “solved” by algorithms and Artificial Intelligence is commonplace.

Five overlapping narratives, from space miners to tech moguls, weave together into a show that explores relationships; with technology, with creativity, and with ourselves.

This is storytelling theatre that’s equal parts funny and moving, featuring a unique performance generated by AI.

Previewed at the Rosemary Branch Theatre in July 2023. Performed at Summerhall as part of edfringe 2023.

Performing November 12th-30th at the Arcola Theatre.
