"Uncanny Valley" by Thomas Gibbons.
ACT’s entry in the 2025 AACTFest. What is AACTFEST?
UNCANNY VALLEY explores the relationship between a neuroscientist and her subject and asks the question: What defines humanity? Claire creates Julian, a nonbiological “human,” one body part at a time, and teaches him how to act “human.” Julian’s increasingly human-like qualities lead Claire to reveal details about her past. Using insight from new research on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robot, UNCANNY VALLEY examines what it means to be truly “human.”
“Uncanny Valley” auditions will be held in Walker Hall at the Capitol Theatre, 415 S Main St., January 13 and 14 at 7pm. No experience needed. No need to prepare. Tentative show dates: February 26 - March 2. Directed by Brian T. Schultz.
