‘amazing plays’ is AI-supported software that generates complete theatre plays from everyday data within minutes. It was developed by dramaturge and director Kristina Malyseva and software developer Benedikt Mildenberger with the support of the Academy for Theatre and Digitality in Dortmund.
The software uses a specially trained large-language model pipeline. For example, users enter their last ten purchases, a short text excerpt or a list of personal preferences. The AI analyses this information, recognises narrative potential and uses it to create a drama with scene structure, dialogue and stage directions.
The central aim of the project is to democratise authorship in the theatre. People without dramaturgical training are given a tool with which they can bring their own themes and perspectives to the stage. After completing their residency at the academy, the complete source code will be published online under an open source licence. Researchers, artists and developers can use, test and further develop it freely.
