Conceived and Co-directed by Esther Neff, Noah Ortega, 3dwardsharp, with Thea Little, Jessica Bathurst, Irina Virina, and Mia Destiny.
Operating as a practical philosophy of mind, PPL’s new operetta draws on social research and stages live experiments, pitching AI-processed perversions of German avant-garde political theatre alongside expressionist debates as to whether to give sanctuary to the souls of the barbus L catfish (a type of carp), who both perished in the dissection practices of Büchner and Freud and currently clog the watersheds of North America. Mental Representation is no more a way of nature than plastic is a perfect food, and anyone who loves consciousness should be ready to perish for it?
