SUMMARY:Oedipus el Rey
DESCRIPTION:Luis Alfaro reimagines Sophocles’ classic in his acclaimed and electrifying Oedipus El Rey\, set in the heart of Los Angeles. Oedipus dreams of rewriting his own story — but liberation comes at a price: can he truly escape the destiny laid out before him? What’s fate\, and what’s just the system? A searing tale of love\, family\, and prophecy\, Oedipus El Rey blends ancient myth with modern urgency and Chicano swagger with swaths of sly humor. Artistic Director Loretta Greco\, who led the acclaimed premiere of Oedipus El Rey at The Magic Theatre\, creates a production especially for Boston.

SUMMARY:The Bald Soprano and; The Lesson
DESCRIPTION:An absurd play for the absurdist of times!\nEverything is as it should be-or is it? Ridiculous on the surface but razor-sharp underneath\, The Bald Soprano & The Lesson is a fast\, funny\, absurdist double feature. As the laughs pile up in The Bald Soprano\, polite dinner party chatter unravels\, propriety goes off the rails\, and ultimately\, conformity spirals into chaos. In The Lesson a hysterical tutoring session explodes into a nonsensical power struggle fueled by misplaced authority. The result is a frenetic theatrical tour-de-force that is simultaneously comedic and profound which asks audiences to laugh loudly but think deeply.\n\nAll tickets are Pay-What-You-Can! The means we don’t decide the price\, you do! Our “sweet spot” would be about $25 per person; if you are on a budget\, pay less\, and if you are able to pay more\, please do!\n\nAppropriate for ages 13+\n\nFor more information please visit our webpage at www.hubtheatreboston.org

SUMMARY:"On Artifactual Imagination” - Keith Tilford at metaLAB
DESCRIPTION:“On Artifactual Imagination”  \nIn this talk\, Keith Tilford considers imagination in the context of generative AI as a lens through which to examine the evolutionary embedding of cognition in hybrid thinking systems more broadly. Drawing on evidence from art history\, archaeological and cognitive-scientific research\, and the anthropology of technology\, he argues that the cognitive architecture of imagination is not merely expressed through artifacts and technical lineages\, but is itself an artifact of technical practices and their cultural transmission — one coextensive with a reorganization of the imaginative function within a new technical apparatus. A central claim is that\, since early modern Europe\, this distributed technical character has been progressively encrypted through a concept of imagination and its productive capacities that serves to insulate creativity and forms of liberal subjectivity from scrutiny and historical accountability. The contemporary antagonism toward generative AI\, positioned as a radical threat to human creativity\, is treated here as an ideological symptom that presupposes exactly this framing of subjectivity. Keith will also briefly present a current synthetic comics project using a trained LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation large language) model over Stable Diffusion XL that operationalizes and tests these claims. \n  \nBio \nKeith Tilford is an artist and independent researcher based in Brooklyn\, NY. He is co-creator with Robin MacKay and Reza Negarestani of the graphic novel Chronosis (Urbanomic\, 2022). Recent essays include “Performing Creativity: Text to Image Synthesis and the Mimicry of Artistic Subjectivity” (2023)\, “Grand Theft Autoencoder” (2025)\, and “Deskilling and the Dataset: On the Antagonisms of Automating Diegetic Representations in Comics” (forthcoming). \n– \nEcho Chamber is pleased to bring Keith Tilford to metaLAB for a focused continuation of the conversations opened in Stockholm during the Comics & Machines conference at the Royal Institute of Technology and the University of Uppsala. \n  \n— \nRSVP here \n  \n4-5 pm – presentation and discussion\, 1st floor \n5-6 pm – reception & mingle\, 4th floor \n42 Kirkland Street\, Cambridge \nall are welcome  \n  \n
