In this techno-noir thriller from Kamala Sankaram, the composer of The Many Deaths of Laila Starr, everybody comes to Rix, the tech company where AI is in charge of global surveillance. Tonight the company is throwing a party, and you’re invited. Take your seat at a table with a touchscreen while a singing AI assistant offers you a drink. Dorothy has just landed her dream job as Rix’s chief software engineer when her ex, Ethan, becomes the world’s most famous whistleblower. Will she help him upload his consciousness to the cloud, or turn him in? With lyrics and book by Rob Handel and direction by Kristin Marting, LOOKING AT YOU sets soaring voices against EDM, crime jazz and a chorus of singing tablets. The Wall Street Journal called it “an absorbing, frightening whole.” The immersive music-theatre experience returns to HERE in January 2027, updated with new interactive technology… 

Originally premiered in 2019 at HERE as a co-production of HERE and Opera on Tap (a FlyRail, Inc. brand), in association with Experiments in Opera.
