About this show

Transforming the stage to a 'meta-lab' of uncertainty, 'who' and 'not sure who' navigate the intersection of spiritual desire and tech-worship. Inspired by the phenomenon of China's youth using AI chatbots as fortune tellers, Seeksaw explores our desperate craving for omniscience and the wanting of control. This funny, existential, original devised performance – part philosophical inquiry into fate, part mutual consulting for dog-shit level anxieties – captures a snapshot of our contemporary era: in a time of no questions or no answers, what is next?

  • he central performance from Jieru Wang is outstanding, confident and kooky. She holds your attention whilst feeling like a stream of consciousness around AI being our new prophet and how young people are turning to it…
