The RemAIns of the Butler

15:00Germany
Performer / Performance company

Mike McAlpine / Free Festival

What if a humanoid robot challenges a butler’s world? Manservant Michael may maintain his composure, but this is a butler in the midst of an existential crisis. Faced with his employer’s purchase of a humanoid robot, Michael asks the question no profession can avoid today: can I survive in the age of AI? Today, agentic AI can autonomously book flights and organise holidays. But can it save the blushes caused by a slip of the tongue at a royal event? Time to examine what makes a gentleman’s gentleman truly irreplaceable. Thoughtful, topical, human-made theatre.
