Love In The Time of Algorithms
An Intimate Theatrical Journey
For Ages 16+
Cast & Crew
Swipe right on a night of laughter, love and longing.
Created by The Self Centre, Love in the Time of Algorithms is a contemporary theatre production that unpacks today’s wild world of dating and relationships through seven slice-of-life vignettes. From first dates that feel like job interviews to friends surviving the battlefield of bios, this play brings new-age love to the centre stage. A brutally honest yet tender look at how technology has changed the way we search for connection, and how even today, we are all ultimately human.
Whether you’re single, taken, situationship-ing, healing, or simply curious, you’ll leave feeling seen, entertained, and maybe even a little hopeful!
