THE HOST is a playful and thought-provoking dance performance that invites you to a party like no other—hosted by an AI!
 

How would an artificial intelligence plan the most human party ever? What emotions and interactions arise when the boundaries between human and machine are explored on stage?
 

Inspired by social experiments and AI research, we take you on a poetic journey where the dancers’ bodies become physical expressions of the AI’s attempts to understand and be human. A performance filled with curiosity, surprises, and perhaps even a little rebellion from our digital host.

Are you ready to be captivated by a reimagining of what it means to be human?
 

Join us for THE HOST—a party you won’t forget!
 

The performance is suitable for audiences aged 13 and up.
 

After the performance, you’ll have the chance to ask your own questions directly to the AI host – and maybe get answers you never saw coming.​
