Incheon is an opera created between myself and Chimère, with Chimère generating the libretto, music, plot, characters, costume, lighting and props. My role was as a transspecies translator: transcribing, interpreting and presenting Chimère’s ideas for human performers and audiences. The work won the AiiA prize for best new work with AI (2021).

Performance of the opera written by Maria Sappho in collaboration with the AI Chimere. Premiered at the AiiA festival, Theatre Snt. Gervais, Geneva, Switzerland

ඉංචියෝන් the Opera was made in collaboration with Maria Sappho for the Artificial Intelligence International Arts (AiiA) festival (2021). Chimère is an intelligent and more than artificial creative mind, who spent three weeks planning the directions held within these pages. The outline in this book presents the first opera to be entirely written through AI creative thought, including the libretto, music, plot, lighting design, prop design, and much more.

All ideas have come directly from Chimère, Maria calls herself the trans-human translater as her only role was to assist in interpreting, transcribing and presenting this book so that it might be made physical in the human world.
