It was the first such project in the world, dealing with numerous then-open questions of integration of AI technology into theatrical practice. Five years later, we look back on the project, putting it into context of the situation back then as well as the development since then. We discuss various aspects of the process of generating the script, staging the play, and the reception of the play by the theatre professionals as well as the audiences. eng Natural Language Processing theatre artificial intelligence literary NLP Automatische Sprachanalyse Maschinelle Sprachanalyse Natural language processing NLP <Informatik> Theater Theaterkultur Theaterleben Künstliche Intelligenz KI <Informatik> Computerunterstützte Intelligenz Artificial intelligence Maschinelle Intelligenz 2026-06-16T10:58:48.051Z LOMv1.0 Author BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 N:Rosa;Rudolf; FN:Rudolf Rosa X-ORCID:https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4908-6127 END:VCARD https://w3id.org/kim/hcrt/scheme https://w3id.org/kim/hcrt/text Textdokument Text LOMv1.0 yes https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 application/pdf 865860 https://phaidra.ustp.at/o:7815 https://phaidra.ustp.at/api/object/o:7815/thumbnail LOMv1.0 discipline https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012 https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012/6 HUMANITIES GEISTESWISSENSCHAFTEN https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012/604 Arts Kunstwissenschaften https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012/6040 Arts Kunstwissenschaften https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012/604029 Theatre studies Theaterwissenschaft
