Event Description

Swipe right on a night of laughter, love and longing.

Created by The Self Centre, Love in the Time of Algorithms is a contemporary theatre production that unpacks today’s wild world of dating and relationships through seven slice-of-life vignettes. From first dates that feel like job interviews to friends surviving the battlefield of bios, this play brings new-age love to the centre stage. A brutally honest yet tender look at how technology has changed the way we search for connection, and how even today, we are all ultimately human.

Whether you’re single, taken, situationship-ing, healing, or simply curious, you’ll leave feeling seen, entertained, and maybe even a little hopeful!

About The Self Centre:

It creates and curates work that responds to the pulse of the community, offering room for reflection, dialogue, and transformation. Its approach, described as transformational theatre, is rooted in the belief that performance can shift not only perspectives, but also possibilities for how people live and relate to one another.
