Marjorie Prime
As a premiere for the Festival della Mente’s audience, the director Raphael Tobia Vogel brings to stage Marjorie Prime, a work of rare beauty, that explores the relation between memory and identity, written by the playwriter Jordan Harrison, finalist at the Pulizer Award 2015, and produced by Franco Parenti Theatre. If Primes, holograms of lost loved ones, existed among us, would we manage to relate with them as if they were the original ones? Does Artificial Intelligence satisfy our clearest needs and our deepest desires and can it be used to overcome loneliness or to help human beings to know themselves better? If we had the opportunity, how would we decide to reconstruct our past and what would we decide to forget?
