Transforma Theatre presents the first public staged reading of Bioadapted created by Tjaša Ferme with writings by James Yu, Alexis Roblan, Ferme and real life transcripts of Science in Theatre Festival, Blake Lamoine interviews...

Bioadapted is an investigative piece about and with the integration of GPT-3 examining human sovereignty, and how AI is interlaced with our everyday lives, our psyches and the means of control.

In its full production staging in 2023, audience members will participate by wearing EEG headsets which will generate BCI (brain-computer-interface) instructions for the movement of actors as human marionettes in flying systems. In the grand finale the audience will put GPT-3 on trial and interrogate it directly in real time.

Our goal is to investigate, interrogate, and educate all while delivering a unique, interactive, science-enhanced experience using technology, knowing that modern-day audiences crave novel experiences to broaden their horizons. AI regulations and their implementation in government systems concern all of us, and through our process of blending art and science, we make these issues "digestible" empowering audiences to become active decision makers and alert citizens protecting their own agency and human sovereignty.
