Calling All the Dreamers
By Adelina Inganno
Directed by Karen Carey
Inspired by the works of Dario Fo, we find ourselves in a world where artificial intelligence has seeped into every corner of daily life.
Calling All the Dreamers is a fast-paced, absurdist farce that follows the working-class as they struggle to navigate an increasingly AI-driven society that seems designed to leave people like them behind. Brimming with black humour, social commentary and biting satire, Calling All the Dreamers is both a wake-up call and and a warning: technology may promise progress but if we don’t pay attention, we risk becoming the forgotten few in a world we no longer control.
Contains strong language.
