SEGAL TALKS Susanne Kennedy on Tuesday 14 July 2020
Channel: HowlRound Theatre Commons
Date: 2020-07-14

The Martin E. Segal Theatre Center presents SEGAL TALKS: Susanne Kennedy livestreaming on the global, commons-based, peer produced HowlRound TV network at howlround.tv on Tuesday 14 July 2020 at 9 a.m. PDT (San Francisco, UTC -7) / 11 a.m. CDT (Chicago, UTC -5) / 12 p.m. EDT (New York, UTC -4) / 17:00 BST (London, UTC +1) / 18:00 CEST (Berlin, UTC +2).

Born in Friedrichshafen, Germany in 1977, Susanne Kennedy studied direction at the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Amsterdam. Director Susanne Kennedy responds to the new balance of power between bodies, technical objects and machines with an aesthetic that is beyond the human. Distorted by masks, playback dialogue, doppelgängers and multimedia, the actors confront the audience with a post-humanistic subjectivity. In January 2020, Susanne Kennedy and Markus Selg designed a model for the creation of a world. ULTRAWORLD investigates consciousness as a virtual construction of the world and simulates the transformation of the human being within it. In June 2020 they were able to show Oracle just after the lockdown ended in Germany. "Oracle" is an installation that can be visited individually and explores the transformative power of an oracle using artificial intelligence.
