Love in the Cracks

Central Academy of Drama (Beijing)

Inspired by the ancient Chinese myth of Nüwa mending the aky, Love in the Cracks explores the bond between a terminally-ill mother and her daughter. Seeking to extend her care, the mother transfers her memories and habits into an embodied AI presence. Through human-machine performance, the global boundaries of contemporary theatre are redefined as the nature of human intimacy, loss, and identity, are closely examined in the light of interaction with artificial intelligence. Ultimately the play asks whether In an age where technology can replicate memory and behaviour love can remain unique?
