OBVIOUS I PRESS

An inventive theatre project is announced: the artists from the OBVIOUS trio are preparing to stage a new play “imagined” by Molière, co-written with artificial intelligence. This bold experiment brings AI into the creative process—not to mimic, but to collaborate in generating dialogue and narrative seeds, which human writers then curate, edit, and integrate.

The play is scheduled for its debut in Versailles in 2026. It will feature seven actors and three musicians, presenting a farce that evokes the wit and style associated with Molière while pushing boundaries through algorithmic spontaneity.

The project raises compelling questions about creativity, authorship, and collaboration: when AI contributes to the writing, who is the author? And how does the mix of machine suggestion and human aesthetics shift what theatre can become? If successful, this performance could mark a turning point for hybrid dramaturgy, giving AI a creative seat at the table of the stage.
