Directed by: Matt Prideaux

Written by: Jp Jordan and Christopher Shorr


WEDNESDAY, OCT 8 @ 7PM - An interactive re-imagining of Alice In Wonderland set in the digital age.

Wednesday, Oct 8 @ 7pm
Linderman Library
Lehigh University

This event is FREE to attend!


This performance is presented in partnership with Lehigh University’s libraries.

Take on the role of Alice and make your way through the looking glass and into the world of (mis)information. Exploring the intersectionality of artificial intelligence and performance, this project reimagines the whimsical Alice in Wonderland as a deep dive into a digital rabbit hole. As you journey throughout the Linderman Library you will encounter familiar and new characters facing AI-inspired challenges that evoke contemporary issues around data ethics, algorithmic bias, and human-machine interaction. This extremely interactive performance seeks to provoke dialogue about technology’s evolving role in society while celebrating the power of imagination, critical thinking, and collaboration in navigating this new digital landscape.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Alice in Informationland is a highly interactive experience. You will be encouraged to engage and converse with many of the wacky characters you encounter throughout your journey. This is also a walk-through experience with scenes spread throughout Linderman Library. You will have to brave your way through the library to make sure you see them all!

[Image description: An AI generated image of a college aged girl, presumably Alice from “Alice in Wonderland”, is floating in the midst of a digital wormhole. She wears ripped jeans, a jacket covered in patches, converse, a beanie, glasses, and is pointing to something floating in front of her in wonder. Alongside her is an anthropomorphic white rabbit in coat and vet. He is reaching out to Alice as though trying to stop her from getting distracted on their journey. The wormhole they float in is comprised of data – logos and bits, words and bytes, graphics of all kinds swirling into oblivion.]
