“Be careful with your dreams for the future; the storms destroy codes too.
But you are right, there is only forward.”
THE SHOW
With absurdity and visceral physicality, the end of work explores technology’s impact on labour, and challenges us to confront what happens when the systems we’ve built no longer make sense. If it’s a fact that AI will take over most human jobs that we know today – did we stop to think what would we do if we didn’t need to work? What happens when the language of money no longer serves its purpose?
The piece is brought to life by an ensemble of 4 performers who play 16 characters, each exposing the complex web of fears, hopes, inequalities and frenzy of a society on the brink of reinvention. It carries the bizarre sensation of glimpsing the future while watching an old movie at the same time.
​
Currently in its final stages of development, the end of work has been shaped by community workshops with young people from working class backgrounds and research with an AI machine learning academic from UCL.
