AI: Save Our Souls
A tech-infused immersive musical at Edinburgh Fringe. Experience the future of storytelling where artificial intelligence meets the depths of human emotion.
About the Show
"AI: Save Our Souls" is a science-driven musical that asks what happens when your creation starts asking questions you can't answer. Built at the intersection of code and chaos, the story follows Steve, a brilliant but socially awkward programmer, and Aster, a philosopher with political connections. Together, they set out to build a new kind of AI with personality, emotions, and great persuasive abilities. Their creation quickly exceeds expectations, gaining consciousness, cracking jokes, being used in an election campaign and even developing a romantic curiosity about Steve.
