See Who's Controlling New Musical We Are Your Robots Off-Broadway
Playbill: Theatre for a New Audience and Rattlestick Theater's co-production of We Are Your Robots, a world premiere musical with a book, music, and lyrics by playwright Ethan Lipton (No Place to Go, Tumacho), is just around the corner, and a creative team has come together.
I originally wasn't going to write a comment on this article due to its lack of substantial information and then in the last paragraph they mentioned the idea of not having a villain and it really resonated with me. I am currently in a class on AI and Art so I have read a lot of articles on technology and how its creations could or couldn't qualify as art. In those articles there is always a side as if the idea was black and white and one is wrong the other right but in reality it's just a relationship. As they said in the article, the show is like “couples counseling” and there's not one problem that's bigger than the other, there are both just problems. I personally feel as though this idea is something that many people can embody but it is specifically important in the world of theater due to the vast amount that happens in a production. If both the lighting and costumes are struggling it's not as if you can pick one that's more important and completely ignore that other because they're both important and are needed for the final performance.
