iSak – Framifrå Theatre

iSak is an artificial intelligence. Hen is programmed to provide assistance to those in need of care, so that they can still live at home. iSak is one of many artificial intelligences that make society go around, and therefore it is very serious that hen is now accused of taking the life of her patient. It is an impossibility that puts the whole of society at risk.

iSak questions what it means to be human. What is empathy? And is the most efficient society the best for us? How can humans survive in the age of data when algorithms do almost everything faster and better than us. Where is the room for human emotions in such a picture?

The text is part of the text collection 2255, by Erlend Rødal Vikhagen, which was written with support from Dramatikkens hus. The performance is produced by Framifrå Teater, with support from FFUK, Viken Teaterråd and Dramatikkens hus, for the correctional service and upper secondary school, and had its premiere in Indre Østfold Prison on 13.06.2022. Since then, the performance has toured several rounds in prisons in Eastern Norway, and is on a longer school tour for Brageteateret in the fall of 2025.
