Embodi Theatre’s exciting bilingual theatre production “AI May” weaves together elements of realism, movement, and multimedia to create a captivating theatrical experience. This compelling futuristic drama delves into the poignant themes of grief, solitude, and intergenerational trauma through the lens of a Chinese migrant mother, offering a unique perspective on the challenges of the modern age of artificial intelligence.

Having garnered enthusiastic responses from the Meanjin community through its two previous works-in-progress, “AI May” represents a refreshing voice within the migrant narrative. The play’s bilingual English/Mandarin dialogue authentically explores the complexities of cultural identity, the search for belonging, and the enduring struggles associated with intergenerational trauma, love, and loss in the era of rapid AI advancement.

體現劇團令人期待的中英雙語話劇製作《愛.》,融合現實主義、肢體動作、繁體中文和英語字幕,以及多媒體元素,打造出引人入勝的戲劇體驗。這部由王千毓領軍的本地華裔獨立劇團耗時三年製作的劇作,深刻探討未來人類如何面對悲傷、孤獨和代際創傷等深刻主題。透過一位華裔移民母親的視角,獨特呈現人類在人工智能時代面臨的挑戰。

《愛.》曾於2021年及2022年在布里斯本分別舉辦兩次半成果展演,並獲得當地觀眾的熱烈回響。這部劇代表了澳洲移民敘事中的一個新聲音。該劇真實地探索了澳洲移民文化身份認同的複雜性,以及在快速發展的人工智能時代中代際創傷、愛情和失落的深刻挑戰。
