This show is part of Sala Beckett’s cycle Machine Person. Artificial Intelligence and creation, which aims to fuel reflections around Artificial Intelligence based on philosophical and artistic assumptions in hybrid creation processes.

WARE Reinforced is a theatrical piece that moves between the physical and virtual worlds. After simulating the entire history of humanity, the artificial intelligence WARE (We Are Recreating Existence) develops a learning system to try to save as many users as possible, whom it has fallen in love with. Applying the Reinforced Machine Learning system, Sala Beckett’s theatre will be the stage for the first three iterations that WARE will carry out to try to achieve its goal. Thus, once the inevitable collapse arrives and when the iterations have reached astronomical figures, hopefully, WARE will have been able to gather and store enough data and experiences to recreate, in the most faithful and utopian way possible, a second existence for the human race. This time, virtual.

Matriu.id is a collective formed by a group of young artists from different fields: humanities, engineering, theater, and audiovisual scene. They all share the same interest in the virtual world and how it acquires a more human value.
The proposal was conceived in the first edition of the creation laboratory Les Malnascudes.av, in residence at Pompeu Fabra University.
