human/Artificial Intelligence, superhuman musical theatre by creators, players, musicians and audience who will venture into the future together with A.I. 

What kind of creature is A.I. (Artificial Intelligence)? What is a human? Can A.I. think about this together with us? Can it philosophize, can it make art? In h/A.I. the Veenfabriek, Orchestra De Ereprijs and theatre group ECHO will take on the challenge. They'll create superhuman musical theatre together with A.I.  

Artificial intelligence has become a part of being human. It supports our ways of thinking, influences our choices, and takes on my many tasks we used to perform ourselves. Without us noticing, 'A.I.' has become a part of all of our appliances and systems. Just wait a little longer, and A.I. will become part of our brains as well. According to many A.I. supporters this is a good thing, but critics also point out many dangers. The tension between humans and artificial intelligence deserves serious attention. Will A.I. help us become superhuman?

h/A.I. is a superhuman manifestation consisting of 4 actors, a 14 person orchestra, A.I., and an audience.  How large is the influence of A.I. on our play, our music, and does the audience even notice it? Experience it yourself and visit h/A.I., human versus Artificial Intelligence: futuristic musical theatre by creators, players, musicians and an audience who will venture into the future together with A.I. 

Besides this amazing show, you can also enjoy a 3-course dinner on the 31st of August 2022. From 19:00 onwards, you can dine, enjoy the show, and listen to a short lecture about A.I.
