Thursday 24 September · 21:00
Daniel Duncan's new stand-up solo about digital life, algorithms and the virtual world, with acid humour and no filters. General admission €15.
Synopsis "Death to the Algorithm" is Daniel Duncan's new stand-up solo in the making, a show about digital life and how the virtual world not only affects reality but already completely merges with it. With acid humour and no filter, the show starts from an uncomfortable question: if the algorithm is neutral, why does it always favour the same people? Between jokes, provocations and reflections, the show touches on themes such as digital exploitation, the cult of influencers and coaches, the plasticised masculinity of online forums, internet Bolsonarism, avatar patriotism, Twitter web communism and him, the real villain of the story: the algorithm. A kind of digital overseer who watches you, gives you crumbs, fires you without notice, and still makes you believe it's your fault, while dancing to the summer hit, smiling. "Death to the Algorithm" is an invitation to laugh at modern chaos, understand the machine and, hopefully, find some humour in the middle of the feed. If you are reading this, it's because the algorithm allowed it. And that alone is reason enough to discuss the subject. Live. Prices General - 15€
