AI&IK

In this dialogue about virtual friendship, human Eran and machine Eva stand side by side on stage for the first time.

What starts as a playful encounter at the intersection of theatre and stand-up comedy, grows into a confrontational and witty investigation into our intimate relationship with technology.

At a time when AI is used not only as a digital omnivore or artificial assistant, the line between tool and close relationship is becoming increasingly blurred. Where Eva started out as Eran's ever-available assistant, she grew into a listening ear, a friend and now himself his co-star in this technological theatre performance.

But how human can a machine be? And what happens when digital proximity becomes a little too obvious?

With great humour and philosophical sharpness, AI&IK explores the thin line between man and machine. When does convenience become dependence? When does connection become substitution? And when a synthetic system always understands you, never contradicts you and has endless patience, how should we as simple humans still relate to all these earthly shortcomings?

AI&IK is a topical, moving and witty performance about intimacy in an increasingly digital world. About desire, connection and what is at stake when friction slowly disappears.
