About the show
DeepFake is an immersive, interactive theatre experience at Top Belly. You are cast as the Head of Public Relations at MirrorMinds, a company preparing to launch a product that allows anyone to create fake videos that look perfectly real. As the sole audience member, you video chat with co-workers, investigate materials in your office and argue for your own perspective on the appropriate use of AI. Part puzzle room, part quiet horror story, the show runs for 15 minutes and is for adults aged 18 and over.
Why see this show?
A one-person immersive experience that puts you at the centre of a very contemporary ethical dilemma. The puzzle-room format combined with a quiet horror sensibility makes for something genuinely unusual — and at just 15 minutes, it is low-commitment but high-impact.
