New Hazlett Theater

A tantalizing cyborg burlesque piece that is sure to warm your flesh and oil your joints as the closing act for the Cyborg Cabaret.
The Cyborg Cabaret explores human, robot, and cyborg relationships in a variety show format featuring everything from cutting edge metal machines to cardboard-suited meat bags. Expect tear-jerking vignettes, frequent non-sequiters, and lots of humor through avant art-meets-science theater.

Sleeping with your lover’s best friend can almost guarantee the end of the relationship, but what happens when his best friend isn’t human?
This piece is a parody of the forbidden love affair that poses the question ‘Is it still cheating if the other “man” is a robot?’
Performed by Julia Cahill and Dave Mansueto

Center For Autosexual Reproduction - Performance
The Center for Autosexual Reproduction
Scott Andrew & Nina Sarnelle
Pittsburgh, PA
The Center for Autosexual Reproduction is a performative medi-spa installed in a suburban shopping complex.
The Center offers patients a quick, non-invasive procedure called Automonogenesis to replace the inconvenient processes of courtship, conception, pregnancy, and birth. Participants wait in our waiting room for their personal 15 min appointment. The experience inside is a medical exam, a hypnosis session and an amusement park ride—at once sexy, confrontational, and absurd.
