Performing the Post-Anthropocene:AI: When a Robot Writes a Play

Abstract

Promoted as the first theatrical play written by artificial intelligence, AI: When a Robot Writes a Play (2021) anticipates the post-Anthropocene in both content and form. The machine-generated script problematizes the necessity of human (including dramatic) activities and invites exploration of theatre’s role in the post-anthropocentric condition. AI renders the stage as a transitional site—a potential gateway to other realities
