What happens when AI takes over humanity’s stewardship after the planet becomes unlivable? Robin Redbreast in a Cage imagines a post-collapse world where Happy Campus residents can’t turn off the best, and only, show on TV: Outsider. Who will be the next contestant? Minimalist staging, inventive light and sound, and fearless performances create a darkly humorous, Blakean, visceral exploration of survival, agency, and ecological responsibility.
