ROSE is an AI chatbot that gives advice for the end of the world, powered by a black box of memories from people whose worlds have already ended. Tonight, ROSE unboxes her training data of human memories (and fabricates some in true AI fashion), to learn about the woman who created her.

Stampin’ in the Graveyard’ is an immersive headphone experience fusing physical theatre and live music to draw audiences into an ephemeral, apocalyptic world. This heartbreaking and hopeful show explores the incessant human need to connect with each other.
