World Premiere
Today we interact less in person than a generation ago due to technology. How is this affecting our culture as a whole? As individuals? Will your job be replaced by AI (artificial intelligence)? These questions were once the topic of science fiction books and fairytales like Hans Christian Anderson’s 1844 classic fairytale ‘The Nightingale’ and now we are faced with the reality that they could come true.
Artistic Director Caroline Calouche’s contemporary version of ‘The Nightingale’ has the main character, Mary, a CEO who loves the latest tech gadget. She travels to the African tropics for vacation and hears the loveliest of birds singing. The nightingale sings the most beautiful songs and Mary has her assistant capture the bird to take home. One day Mary receives a gift of a mechanical bird that looks like the nightingale and sings just as sweetly. Mary’s love of gadgets takes over and she lets the real nightingale free. After a few weeks of listening to the same song from the mechanical nightingale, Mary becomes deeply depressed that Death comes knocking. Mary’s assistant finds the nightingale and persuades her to return to sing for Mary. Death is so charmed by the music and spares Mary.
