Edward, a robotic scientist brings home his latest project, Adam. It’s essential that Adam is programmed and tested in a “humane environment”. Edward’s partner, Ada is resistant to the intrusion. She eventually agrees, but only if she’s the one who gets to program him.
What ensues is a love triangle that transcends time, space, human consciousness and everything we’re taught to believe about connection and “love”. Burning, Falling, Rising Monster uses the relationship between a lonely human and an artificial intelligence bot as a metaphor for the falsehoods of courtship, technology addiction and the spectacular occurrences that happen every day in our natural environment, without human influence or acknowledgement.
This play is currently in pre-production with Arterial Projects, dir. Jaki Bradley. Cast: Damon Daunno, Gabby Beans, Evan Jonigkeit and Vince Nappo.
