An improv and sketch show that riffs on Walt Whitman's poetry with AI, created by Layer Hendrix, the pen name of writing duo Ajai Tripathi and Patrick Hilton. The 60-minute multimedia performance, performed by Tripathi and Hilton, explores the life of America's bard in contrast to an AI trying to understand his work. Powered by real-time audience feedback, the piece evolves based on crowd input, billed as the world's first transhuman generative theatre.
