Theatre is showing a real interest in artificial intelligence at the moment and it is one of the concerns of A Dead Body in Taos which opens at Wilton’s later this month. First off comes the mighty Australian troupe Back to Back, a company made up of learning disabled performers and co-creators which has produced a remarkable body of work which breaks theatrical form in thrilling ways and is often both challenging and heart-breaking. No surprise that the company recently won the Ibsen Prize, one of the theatre’s most coveted international awards. Taking the form of a public town hall style meeting, this is a multi-layered piece exploring the lines between private and public actions and engagements, the baselines of what we consider human intelligence to be, and what normal might look like in a world where AI is smarter than any human.
