Instructions
Subject Object
Each night a different unrehearsed performer takes to the stage, guided only by live instructions.
Line-by-line a story unfolds, and a life unspools. The Actor is about to give the performance of a lifetime as the borders between theatre and reality begin to blur.
Instructions is a compelling, moving and funny exploration of AI, creativity, and the late-capitalist condition.
Instructions premiered at the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe and won a Fringe First Award for its innovative form and urgent themes.
