URLAND plays with fire artificial intelligence (AI) and questions what it means to be an artist in digital times. Are we actually still needed? Boundaries are blurring. AI is everywhere, hive mind. They took our jobs! World domination. "Data overload, everyone dies."

Formerly Known As is an existential meta-performance about ‘live art in digital times’. URLAND works with AI to collectively make a performance about a theatre company working with AI to collectively make a performance about a theatre company working with AI to collectively make a performance about what it means to be human. Meta, yes. What happens when we make ourselves expendable, handing over the creation process of a theatrical performance to AI? A clash between creator and its creation. Is dit kunst of kan het weg? (Is this art or can it go?)

Prompt: “Act as an experienced, experimental, genius theatermaker. Based on the work of Performance Collective URLAND, craft a unique and compelling script for three actors. Write out the full stage design, sound design, script and dramaturgy. Make it so that the audience can’t distinguish it from an authentic URLAND performance. The theme is AI in theater. Leave room for a plot twist at the end.”  

URLAND embraces the unknown and flies with wings of wax beyond the clouds. To infinity and beyond!

Language: English, with Dutch surtitles

Over URLAND

Urland is een Rotterdams performancecollectief dat bestaat uit Thomas Dudkiewicz, Marijn Alexander de Jong en Jimi Zoet. De drie performers maken beeldende, muzikale en fysieke voorstellingen die het publiek confronteren met universele thema’s en vragen. Het collectief is een vaste bespeler van Theater Kikker. De theaterhit UR maakte deel uit van de 2018-editie van Kikker Kiest. In september 2018 presenteerde Urland in de UR-triënnale, waarin zij hun eigen werk kritisch onder de loep namen. In april 2019 speelde de succesvoorstelling URLAUB in onze grote zaal. In september 2019 maakte ze een uitstapje naar de grote zaal van de Stadsschouwburg met de De Internet Trilogie. Ludwig Bindervoet maakte t/m 2023 ook onderdeel uit van het performance collectief maar kondigde aan solo verder te gaan.
