Les Jeux de l'amour et de l'énigme
Can you fall in love with an avatar? Can you insult Alexa? What should we do when Replika is lonely? Can AI help us cope with bereavement? Who decides my future: me or Parcoursup? These questions, heightened by the use of artificial intelligence, are at the heart of the ‘Games of Love and Enigma’. Using a classroom as a theatre, those present are transformed into a choir that will watch, comment, react, feel and be moved. It's also an opportunity to play with three characters, one of them a machine that responds ‘naturally’ to questions. The result is a modern dispute, a match between the ‘science of the heart’ dreamt up by Marivaux in 1723 and the ‘conscious’ machine imagined by Alan Turing in 1950.
