The BMO Lab hosts its inaugural Nada Ristich Artist-in-Residence, Roland Schimmelpfennig, for two weeks in November. Schimmelpfennig is Germany’s most performed playwright and one of Europe’s most original voices, with productions worldwide in over 40 countries.
While in Toronto, Roland will be working closely with Lab Director David Rokeby to delve into artificial intelligence, its potential applications to theatre, and to gain a deeper understanding of what is at play in recent developments of AI and its broader cultural implications. We hope that these conversations and explorations may form the foundations of a new play.
On November 5th, The BMO Lab welcomed Roland Schimmelpfennig with a reception at University College. He was interviewed by Dr. Ute Scharfenberg, a dramaturg and scholar of contemporary transnational drama.
