Through the use of artificial intelligence tools, “Whisper” is a creation that seeks to demystify the role of the machine, challenge its limits, and understand what happens with everything that is not within the confines of its network. Through four human bodies, the performers, we will explore the capabilities of various AI programs, such as text to speech, speech to text, text to video, motion capture, machine learning, etc., including the classic ChatGPT.

Without merely showcasing the potential of these tools, we will strive to find a guiding theme for the performance that is both unifying and reveals the seams of the process.

Projecto Ruínas is a theatre creative company, that produces shows in which artistic areas intersect. It's based in Montemor-o-Novo since 2004, where it develops its activity until the present days. Since the beginning, Projecto Ruínas has sought a unique path through experimenting and crossing multiple disciplines and influences, devising new dramaturgies, sharing the creative experience with the public in a raw way, challenging limits, risking and embracing flaws.

Initially, the key feature was improvisation and exploration of the buffoon technique. Shows were built in a site specific, ruined places that were the background of its artistic materials. Devising established itself as a method from 2004 onwards, to bring out original dramaturgy inspired by contemporary themes. The artistic path evolved towards a narrativity. The humanity of the characters, their social context and their placement in situations of identity crisis, appeared as a dramaturgical mark. From 2012, Projecto Ruínas evolved towards a new creation process, centred on a physical approach instead of working from a text, choreography and movement became fundamental elements of the works.
