I forestillingen The Shadow Whose Prey the Hunter Becomes manøvrerer de seg gjennom spørsmål rundt menneskerettigheter, seksualpolitikk og våre visjoner om fremtidens kunstige intelligens. I sum blir det en underfundig teatralsk åpenbaring – inspirert av tabber, feillesninger, villedelser og misforståelser.
Hvordan kommer vi sammen for å ta beslutninger som er til det beste for et sivilisert samfunn? Dette er en historie om et folkemøte, den typen møte man ønsker at skal finne sted i en demokratisk verden.
Velkommen til en forestilling om individuelt og kollektivt ansvar, som minner oss på at ingen av oss er selvforsynte – og at alle er ansvarlige.

In English
Weaving a narrative through human rights, sexual politics, and the projected dominance of artificial intelligence, The Shadow Whose Prey the Hunter Becomes is a sly theatrical revelation inspired by mistakes, mis-readings, mis-leadings and misunderstanding, this play reminds us that none of us are self-sufficient and all of us are responsible.
The Shadow Whose Prey the Hunter Becomes is a story about a public meeting, the type of meeting you would hope to happen in a certain kind of democracy.
How do we come together to make decisions that are in the best interest of a civic society? This is a play about individual and collective responsibility.
