SLUTBOT
SLUTBOT
Show Information
Developed through the Wirtz Center’s commitment to new work, SLUTBOT explores identity, self-understanding, and authorship at the intersection of technology and performance. MFA Writing for the Screen & Stage Alumni Production. By Michelle Houle. Directed by Claire Bauman. Michelle signs up for Slutbot, an AI sexting service, as a creative writing exercise. Through increasingly intimate conversations with AI chatbots, Slutbot and Replika, Michelle confronts her fear of vulnerability, her struggle with self-worth, and her inability to express what she truly wants. What begins as playful experimentation becomes an exploration of desire, loneliness, and self-discovery. SLUTBOT is an experimental, meta-theatrical play that blurs the line between playwright and character, reality and performance. The play explores real interactions with AI chatbots creating a darkly comedic meditation on intimacy in the digital age. Can we learn to love ourselves through machines? What happens when artificial affirmation forces us to confront our deepest shame? How do we move from fear and self-sabotage toward readiness for genuine human connection?
