World Premiere
A theatrical multimedia exploration into Alan Turing, AI, and the dark soul of technology.
Alan Turing was a pioneer of modern computer technology: he cracked the Enigma code and helped the British government to shorten the Second World War. Nonetheless, the same government persecuted him for his sexual orientation. After Respublika in 2022, Łukasz Twarkowski returns to Ruhrtriennale with Oracle, a multimedia theatre piece by playwright Anka Herbut. Together, they explore Turing’s tragic life and legacy. Set in post-war Britain and a timeless digital realm, Oracle examines the politicization of technology. Through immersive soundscapes and cinematic projections, it blurs reality and illusion, questioning whether advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Visually stunning and provocative, Oracle reflects on Turing’s secrets, prophetic insights, and the AI-shaped future he helped create.
Produced by Dailes Theatre Latvia and Ruhrtriennale. Cooproducers: Newerror, Comédie de Genève, Piccolo Teatro di Milano -Teatro d'Europa.
