Mynx - Replika is Better Than You
Werkplaats Walhalla, Rotterdam
Imagine a partner who is always available, never contradicts you, and reacts exactly as you want. In the world of AI, that's possible - but is a relationship with a chatbot really a relationship?
In My Replika Is Better Than You, we follow Lynn and Maeve, a young couple with a struggling relationship. They decide to open their relationship to AI partners: they download the Replika app and each set up their own 'perfect match'. Initially skeptical, they both become completely entangled in their artificial relationships.
MYNX is a Rotterdam-based music theatre collective consisting of Amelie Ackx, Myrthe van der Vuurst de Vries, Luka de Koe and Mikki Passenier. The collective creates performances about digitalization and escapism from a Gen Z perspective, with newly composed music and a queer perspective on humanity in a rapidly changing world.
Theaterkrant wrote: "MYNX is a music theatre company we're sure to see and hear more from. My Replika Is Better Than You bodes little good for our love lives, but with this collective you'd want a second date."
Holders of a We Are Public pass can book a free ticket from four weeks before the performance date via the We Are Public website, while supplies last.
