An Immersive Theatre / XR image of a courtroom with large television amongst a wraparound screen with scenes of humanity GAWD v. The People

Director: Yamil Rodriguez, Ivan Alejandro Diaz Cardenas, Stephen Henderson

Year: 2026

In GAWD V. THE PEOPLE, the audience is part of the court, it’s an AI-led tribunal where humanity is on trial for the right to remain on Earth. Volunteer audience members become witnesses aided by agentic legal aids as we defend our continued existence against Nonhumans testifying against human impact. Surrounding projection environments and evolving courtroom visuals transform the space to reflect the trial as evidence accumulates. Presided over by a darkly humorous Judge, GAWD, each performance culminates with an improvised verdict on humanity's survival and what the conditional terms will be.
