Ruhrfestspiele 2025: Lumina

Artificial intelligence, integrated into a desk lamp, is the starting point for the Armada Theater. Its multimedia puppet and object theater deals with the opportunities and dangers of AI.

Lumina learns quickly and manages almost every aspect of the lives of its human users. It takes care of all the unpleasant tasks, manages your finances, and is always ready to listen to you. The AI was created by two aspiring entrepreneurs. They tirelessly develop their algorithms further to achieve the best benefit and greatest profit. But that's exactly where the problem starts: Every change in the algorithm has consequences that the two AI creators do not always have under control. And who actually controls Lumina's creators?

In a mix of figure and object theater, the Armada Theater examines the learning behavior behind an AI and raises ethical and existential questions.

Armada Theater, a free theater collective from NRW, has been creating theater for children, teenagers, and adults for over a decade. For their performances, the group creates loving miniature worlds that are filmed live on stage and complemented by music and acting. This way, the theater collective manages to convey complex relationships playfully.
