Synopsis

Children have many wishes, some of these are especially great ones. Marietta has just the one - she wants a dog. Her parents are not keen. Especially as they have their four year old son Tobias to look after too.

For years Marietta pestered her parents, but to no avail. But then, on her tenth birthday she gets a magic stone from a child the family is sponsoring in Africa. Alledgedly it can fulfill a person's greatest wish.

One day, Marietta sits on her bed with the magic stone in her hand and wishes as hard for a dog as never before - she would give anything in exchange. A minute later the most amazing thing has happened: the sweetest dog in the world is sitting outside her door. Marietta is delighted and wants to show her brother the miracle, but he seems to have disappeared.

After searching frantically without success Marietta suddenly discovers a mole on the dog's stomach, just where Tobias has one.

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.
