Created by director Annie Loui and artist Antoinette LaFarge, Reading Frankenstein<\/em>\u00a0is an intermedia performance in which a contemporary\u00a0scientist named Mary Shelley discovers that one of her failed genetic experiments is\u00a0running amok in her laboratory, at the same time as the novel Frankenstein<\/em> is haunting her\u00a0imagination. Given the autonomy of A.I. and the accelerating scientific possibilities of CRISPR, Reading Frankenstein<\/em> presents questions about ethics and evolution in an era of genetic possibility. The show is about an hour and a quarter long with no intermission. On Thursday, Nov. 7, there will be a 20-minute talkback with the artists and designers after the show.<\/p>\n
