from Shadow Syndicate

In a society slavishly addicted to AI technology, over reliance and consumption begins to compromise the moral compass of those immersed within it. Powerful play about female authorship of the future through AI and the impact this has on society.  Within the sphere of a great societal change, an ominous question looms into view; What is real and what is fake? Truths wither on the vine of alternate realities and are laid bare in this provocative and forward thinking new production from the multi-award winning Youth Theatre company, Shadow Syndicate. 

Compelling and foreboding; ‘Sincerity’ is the ascendant voice of Matr[AI]rchy, seeking to nurture, heal and care, forged from a positive and inclusive mould, which sounds the perfect antidote to derision and division….but does this approach manifest equal frailties and provocations for society?  Does a female centred ‘intelligence’ have more hope at governing this new apex predator? This apt and challenging production explores that question in a raw and uncompromising way.

Innovative in form and kaleidoscopic in style, fractured episodes are united by the truism that AI is the future, with the pleasures and perils this offers, laid bare in an unprepared world.  Individuals reveal the permutations of this advancement into the different facets of their lives in a raw and uncompromising portrayal of our slavish tendencies towards this new technology.
