    Time: the not-so-distant future. Space: a conference amongst AI.

    Biological life is extinct. One organism has the power to bring it all back. The choice is yours.

    From Psychonaut Theatre, The W.I.G. of Life: A Conference is a witty and thought-provoking look into human history and our collective responsibility towards nature and ourselves. In this absurd, laugh-out-loud investigation of humanity’s impact through time, three performers as AI bots guide you on an interactive journey through changing moral codes and futuristic visuals. Featuring dance, comedy, puppetry and TV this innovative tour de force invites you to put on your chosen avatar, confront your very own preconceptions, question the world as you know it, and ultimately, make the final decision on biological life. 

    An internet-enabled smart phone is required for participation in the show.

    "This wig bonanza by anti life, pardon, AI life is playful and colourful, funny and witty, and never takes itself too serious as several voluntary and involuntary smirks on stage prove – this conference delivers an interactive, philosophical sci-fi malarky"
