The Copies by Caryl Churchill
Thrilling play by Caryl Churchill about identity, biogenetics & AI: What happens when you meet yourself? Absurd twists, existential questions & profound discussions in a current production. Experience human existence anew!
Caryl Churchill's play "Copies" explores fundamental questions of identity, individuality, and the nature of humanity. Based on the absurd premise that multiple genetic duplicates of a person encounter each other, the production examines how biogenetics and artificial intelligence challenge our self-understanding. Without making moral judgments, the play illustrates how technological developments spark existential debates about original and copy, human and machine.
The production combines current scientific discourses with philosophical reflections and consciously refrains from simple answers. Instead, the encounter of the duplicates serves as a starting point for contemplating the boundaries of the human.
