Peter Is Back
 

Live show with artist Amir Yatziv and an animated avatar inspired by Franz Kafka’s 1917 short story A Report to the Academy. The avatar, Peter, who speaks and acts spontaneously through AI technologies, speaks with Yatziv his life as a former monkey, and about Peter’s journey into humanness and beyond. They also talk about bad habits and instincts, such as those you try to hide from yourself. All of this unfolds through shifts in control between actor and director, and between scripted dialogue and improvised conversation. Like in a strange road show, the performing magician brings nothing but his wild imagination and the few props he carries with him; he is in perpetual risk of losing the audience’s trust once his human flaws are exposed.
