DESCRIPTION:'In 1997\, the computer surpassed humans in chess for the first
  time.'\n\nAt the close of the 20th century\, rapid advancements in scienc
 e and technology culminated in a duel between man and machine. The human c
 reation began to exceed humanity itself. Behind this achievement lie the d
 reams and nightmares of the last century\, whose effects reverberate into 
 the present.\n\nIn his brilliant novel\, Chilean author Benjamín Labatut t
 races extraordinary individuals who dedicated their lives to the inexplica
 ble depths of mathematics and logic\, and who laid the foundation for our 
 technology-infused present. At the heart of the narrative is the mathemati
 cian John von Neumann\, inventor of game theory\, co-developer of the atom
 ic bomb\, and a visionary for artificial intelligence – 'an alien among us
 .' Yet\, even Neumann ultimately grapples with his own mundane mortality. 
 Humanity cannot be driven out of man. Labatut's masterful montage of facts
  and fiction leads us on the trail of people whose visionary thinking cros
 ses paths with both rationality and irrationality.\n\nA work by Benjamín L
 abatut is being brought to the stage for the first time at the Schauspielh
 aus. Labatut's writing finds its ideal theatrical translation in Calixto B
 ieito's impressive dedication to the performing arts and their language. W
 ith his sharp sense for contemporary literature\, the Spanish director ada
 pts the novel for its world premiere at the Pfauen stage. Bieito\, known f
 or his uncompromising explorations of humanity and its abysses\, negotiate
 s the history of our technologized world on the analog stage – where it or
 iginated: among people.
