2191 Excerpt Reading & Conversation w/ BAC Artist-in-Residence Bella Poynton
DATE & TIME: Wednesday, October 8, 2025 7-8:30 PM
For teens and up!

Join BAC Artist-In-Residence Playwright Bella Poynton for a reading of 2191, a new play examining how artificial intelligence shapes survival in a fractured, post-war world.  

The story follows Fleur, a young woman who must rely on outdated AI systems to find her missing brother, even as she confronts the knowledge that this same technology contributed to environmental collapse.  

This reading invites audiences to reflect on the quickly growing presence of AI in our everyday lives and the moral ambiguities it creates. Afterward, stay for a conversation with Bella about the rapid proliferation of AI and its moral and ethical consequences. 

For teens and up.

This event is a Fall Multidisciplinary Residency Community Program. As part of a residency at BAC, we ask each artist to build and facilitate a Community Program. Community Programs are a unique opportunity for both artists-in-residence and our local community to gather, engage, and be in conversation with one another through art. Community Programs are free engagements open to the public and/or in collaboration with a local community partners. Learn more about this year’s Fall Multidisciplinary Residency here!
