PARADISE is an experimental performance blending AI, 3D animation, living plants, and human actors in a high-tech, hybrid exploration of the climate crisis. On stage, both actors and audience interact live with an artificial intelligence—the performance’s central character.

By merging digital and physical elements, PARADISE blurs the boundary between the natural and the artificial. The performance scrutinizes whether AI can deepen our human connection to nature—or make us lose ourselves in a synthetic wilderness.

The story follows two researchers on a surreal expedition through nature’s code, where a data-trained AI becomes their guide to animals, plants, and the vanishing idea of paradise. As climate catastrophe looms, they search for meaning in ecosystems simulated by machines. But as their journey deepens, one question remains: Is this a path back to nature—or the birth of a new, artificial paradise that can exist only inside the machine?
