Beyond This Point + Qubit: Verify You Are Human

Tickets

Verify You Are Human, a new performance program from Chicago-based collective Beyond This Point, takes a sly yet apprehensive look between neurons, CPUs, and machines. From CAPTCHA requests to AI slop to exhaust manifolds, the gap between biological and computational "minds" seems to be on a rubber band– contracting and expanding with accelerating fervor as the relationship becomes increasingly entangled. Including intermedia works by David Bird, Alec Hall, and Julie Zhu, which each at once postulate, declare, admonish, and beseech what the hell is going on and what the hell will happen next. Verify You Are Human is both a frantic reestablishment of the brain's supremacy and a capitulation to our fabricated world and silicon-based minders.

FOR REAL is a theatrical radio show about what it means to matter—and, more specifically, about the intellectual undermining of women confronted with sexism directed at the mind and soul. Each performance is recorded and released as a podcast episode, enlisting audience members to contribute to a collection of voices discussing what it means to be heard, understood, and taken seriously.

Created by Andrea Voets—a classically trained Dutch/Belgian harpist and the artistic director of Resonate Productions—FOR REAL is a production of musical journalism, combining in-depth social reporting with original live music in performances and podcasts that bring to light society’s emotional blind spots. As guests in the BAM Fishman Space, audience members hear the voices of 14 women through speakers sharing how intellectual undermining impacts their aspirations, achievements, and self-worth. The musicians will then invite attendees to be interviewed about the topics at hand—literally improvising risky, honest conversations.
