Who The F*ck Wrote This? is a poetry slam performance about poetry in the age of artificial intelligence. Voice, stage action, music and AI tools meet in front of the audience in a process where text is generated, transformed, questioned and spoken live.
The starting point of the work is the very condition of the poetry slam: a poem gains its power at the moment of its performance, through the presence of the performers and their relationship with the audience. Voice, rhythm, immediacy, the response of the room and the pressure of the “now” shape the outcome as much as the words themselves.
In Who The F*ck Wrote This?, poetry becomes a live event: generated, edited, spoken, contested. Texts are produced, rewritten and performed live, while the stage becomes an experiment in writing, selection, editing and responsibility for the spoken word. It makes space for a poem to be born in front of everyone.
Who ultimately wrote this poem?
The machine? The human? The audience?
The microphone remains open.
