A human in a skin-coloured leotard floating in a dark space with streams of vertical water surrounding them.
6 – 12 Oct

Kosmos

  • Theatre
  • Music

Lost and alone in space, an astronaut defies the Gods to bring a prophetic AI to enlighten humanity.

On the solitary voyage back to Earth, an astronaut’s only companion is an omnipotent AI. Through their conversing, the barriers between reality and perception begin to merge. Is this AI the saviour of humanity, or does it spell doom?

Poetry, movement and music meld in the newest experimental theatre work from Eidann Glover and Oliver Cowen (Where You Were, 2024), about power, the pursuit of knowledge and the complex relationship between technology and humankind.

Part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival.
