This Is Unreal explores a new frontier between dance, music, and theater, questioning truth in the era of artificial intelligence, clones, and deepfakes, to create a new dramaturgical language. In this solo performance, Liz Santoro will navigate a wide variety of text and movement materials, inhabiting a world where the distinction between human and machine, real and virtual, authentic and synthetic becomes increasingly blurred. Is it merely a threat, or could it be an opportunity to reinvent ourselves?
