The First Human & The Last Life is a sci-fi set in a post-apocalyptic future. It follows the awakening of the first reborn human after extinction, and their encounter with an AI.

As Human gradually regains movement, language, and emotion, AI attempts to teach Human how to be human. But can a machine truly understand what it has never felt?

The piece explores themes of memory, identity, morality, humanity, and creation. It blends spoken dialogue with physical performance, layered sound, and visual storytelling using lighting and projection creating a sensory journey that mirrors the rebirth of humanity.

Two actors, one male and one female, who alternate roles across different shows, each taking turns to play either AI or Human. This allows the team to explore how gender and embodiment influence physicality, presence, and audience perception, especially when portraying the contrast between machine and human.
