About this show

You are the Head of Public Relations at MirrorMinds, a company preparing for the launch of their newest product that allows anyone to create fake videos that look perfectly real. As sole audience member and active participant in this immersive theatrical experience, you will video chat with co-workers, investigate the materials in your office and argue for your own perspective on the appropriate use of AI. It's up to you to make this launch a success... or not. Part puzzle room, part quiet horror story.

What the reviewers said

We have captured 8 published reviews and 2 audience reviews for this show from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe’s own listing. The excerpts below are the reviewers’ words, not ours — follow each link for the full review.

  • Deepfake’s concept is simple and power packed into 15 minutes, yet generates an unbelievably effective result. Such an exciting mini piece of theatre could only have been created by a group of extremely talented humans.

    — Theatre Weekly (4 out of 5 stars)

  • This is the most powerful immersive theatre I have ever experienced. Three actors ( I think?) and 15 minutes changed my sense of what is real and what isn’t—forever.

    — One4Review (5 out of 5 stars)

  • This chilling look at AI’s potential asks whether technological progress offers liberation or the theft of identity.
