Dada Performance Script Q1

The document outlines a script for a dada performance art piece about society's overreliance on technology. In the script, Asha, dressed as an AI assistant, interacts with people who are constantly on their phones or other devices. Asha helps them send texts and social media posts but eventually overheats from the demands. This causes the people to break down crying without their technology. They recite poems expressing their deep attachment to Asha and feeling of loss now that the AI is no longer functioning.

(Maren​ ​‘wakes​ ​up’​ ​and​ ​begins​ ​to​ ​use​ ​her​ ​phone;​ ​everyone​ ​else​ ​awakes)

Asha:​ ​Sadie​ ​texted​ ​at​ ​7:27​ ​am,​ ​“Maren​ ​you​ ​BEEP.​ ​You​ ​have​ ​no​ ​right​ ​to​ ​do​ ​that​ ​to​ ​me!

Maren:​ ​Ohh,​ ​I​ ​can’t​ ​believe​ ​her…..

(Emilie​ ​pulls​ ​Asha​ ​over)


Emilie:​ ​Good​ ​Morning​ ​Twitter​ ​Family!​ ​Who​ ​needs​ ​friends​ ​when​ ​you’ve​ ​got​ ​followers​ ​and​ ​Siri!
Asha:​ ​Tweet​ ​sent.​ ​Isn’t​ ​that​ ​a​ ​little​ ​sad?​ ​You​ ​know​ ​I’m​ ​not​ ​real​ ​right,​ ​Oops,​ ​I’ve​ ​been​ ​advised
not​ ​to​ ​discuss​ ​my​ ​existential​ ​status.
Emilie:​ ​Oh​ ​sure,​ ​like​ ​your​ ​not​ ​real,​ ​what​ ​about​ ​our​ ​deep​ ​conversations,​ ​I’ve​ ​told​ ​you​ ​things​ ​I

Asha:​ ​Match
Joel:​ ​I​ ​don’t​ ​like​ ​any​ ​of​ ​those​ ​girls,​ ​will​ ​you​ ​be​ ​my​ ​girlfriend​ ​Siri?
Asha:​ ​That​ ​would​ ​be​ ​to​ ​difficult,​ ​I’m​ ​with​ ​you​ ​all​ ​the​ ​time,​ ​sometimes​ ​I​ ​just​ ​need​ ​a​ ​break.
Joel:​ ​Ohh,​ ​Ok.​ ​(sad)
(Anna​ ​pulls​ ​Asha​ ​over)
Anna:​ ​Woke​ ​up​ ​like​ ​this!​ ​Post​ ​on​ ​my​ ​story!
Asha;​ ​Posted.
Anna:​ ​Gotta​ ​catch​ ​up​ ​on​ ​my​ ​streaks,​ ​almost​ ​365​ ​days​ ​with​ ​Emma.​ ​Send​ ​to​ ​Emma.
Asha:​ ​System​ ​Processing,​ ​I’m​ ​sorry​ ​I​ ​can​ ​not​ ​process​ ​your​ ​request.
Why​ ​isn’t​ ​it​ ​sending,​ ​This​ ​is​ ​not​ ​OK,​ ​come​ ​on.​ ​Emma​ ​will​ ​be​ ​so​ ​angry,​ ​I​ ​would​ ​break​ ​our​ ​streak!
Come​ ​on​ ​!
Asha:​ ​Overheating,​ ​Overheating!(starts​ ​shaking)
Anna:​ ​Come​ ​on​ ​Snapchat!
Asha:​ ​Crashing,​ ​Crashing!​ ​(falls​ ​to​ ​ground)

Joel:​ ​My​ ​Iphone​ ​X,​ ​I​ ​ ​only​ ​got​ ​you​ ​a​ ​week​ ​ago.
Emilie:​ ​My​ ​twitter​ ​family!
Anna:​ ​What​ ​am​ ​I​ ​supposed​ ​to​ ​do​ ​now?
Maren:​ ​(Start​ ​Crying)

(all​ ​start​ ​running​ ​around​ ​get​ ​around​ ​Asha)

Joel:​ ​Since​ ​I​ ​saw​ ​you​ ​Siri


The​ ​first​ ​day​ ​that​ ​we​ ​met
I​ ​knew​ ​that​ ​our​ ​love
Maren:​ ​Would​ ​be​ ​something​ ​I​ ​can’t​ ​forget
I​ ​can’t​ ​eat,​ ​I​ ​can’t​ ​sleep
Since​ ​you​ ​shut​ ​down​ ​from​ ​the​ ​heat
Emilie:​ ​I​ ​love​ ​you​ ​more​ ​than​ ​life​ ​itself
And​ ​I​ ​don’t​ ​know​ ​what​ ​to​ ​do​ ​with​ ​myself
With​ ​curved​ ​edges​ ​and​ ​bright​ ​eyes
Anna:​ ​I​ ​knew​ ​you​ ​were​ ​the​ ​possession​ ​that​ ​I​ ​prized
Without​ ​a​ ​reason​ ​to​ ​check​ ​my​ ​phone
I​ ​now​ ​go​ ​to​ ​bed​ ​alone
