AI May is a new bilingual play by Taiwanese/Australian playwright, director and founder of Embodi Theatre, Amy Chien-Yu Wang. With surtitles in both English and Traditional Chinese, the show details the story of a grieving immigrant mother as she interacts with a humanoid robot designed to simulate her deceased daughter.
It’s a uniquely diasporic take on Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, thinking about human connection and unconditional love in a culture where trauma and grief are often internalised.
