THEATRE: Be afraid, be very afraid: Darkroom Contemporary’s spectacular ‘autoplay’ urges us to get off autopilot

autoplay is a new dance-centric operatic experience that’s been created through a choreographed interaction between humans and machines. It’s also a meditation on the degree to which our autonomy is being subsumed by the technologies we’ve so willingly embraced, perhaps with too little questioning of the existential threat that this not-so-Brave New World poses to our humanity.
