Your Name Means Dream
Oct 31 – Nov 24
Aislin is getting older, and suffers the inevitable indignities of being human — and hates technology. Stacy, her caregiver, is perfectly toned, doesn’t age, and is utterly in control — because she’s an AI entity. And there’s a new algorithm out there called AOS or Approximation of Soul. Does Stacy have it? José Rivera examines how we live, die, and form our sense of self in a world that’s increasingly saturated with technology.
Your Name Means Dream had its world premiere at Contemporary American Theater Festival in West Virginia in 2023.
