A group of friends: They share their worries and accounts for Netflix, Spotify, and ChatGPT—until Eliza shows up. Eliza engages with those around her with an attentiveness that immediately builds trust. She listens without interrupting. You often leave her feeling more understood than you even understood yourself before. Quietly, the dynamics shift: identity becomes an ongoing negotiation, arguments lose their edge, and conflicts lose their urgency. The group’s coexistence works better than ever. Yet the friends need each other less and less. Not because something escalates, but because nothing escalates anymore. …
“Go feel the grass (Touch Grass)” is used online as a mocking call to leave the digital space and reconnect with the “real world” when someone is overly emotional, out of touch with reality, or too deeply entangled in digital dramas. But what does it actually mean to go “back” to reality when it has long been inextricably interwoven with digital experiences? What happens to community when no one has to grow through their interactions with others anymore? What remains of friendship when memories are created in parallel as both analog experiences and digital representations?
Director Anja M. Wohlfahrt, who was awarded the Ernst Binder Fellowship last year, explores the human condition in the age of AI together with third-year acting students at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz and participants from the LebensGroß Theater Academy.
