AI KNOW YOU -

An existential journey into yourself.

We spend our lives getting to know ourselves. But what if someone – or something – knows us better than we know ourselves?

On stage stands an actor claiming to know the audience: “In the 30 minutes it took you to come in and take your seats, I’ve figured out how many of you are in relationships. I also know that many of you have googled recipes this week, and that at least 40% have recently searched for travel options.”

How? In our everyday lives, we leave traces – data we voluntarily share when we shop, search the web, or use social media. Our digital footprints reveal more about us than we understand ourselves.

As the performance unfolds, you’ll discover that your actions are so predictable the actor on stage can anticipate them before you do. And maybe you should listen when he tells you what you ought to do? Because what if he knows you better than you know yourself?

AI Know You is a co-production between fix+foxy and Odense Teater. The work is supported by Knud Højgaards Fond, Spar Nord Fonden, William Demant Fonden, Bikubenfonden and Statens Kunstfond.

Performance period: 30.5 – 4.6 2026 på CPH Stage / Folketeatret

REVIEWS AND COVERAGE

★★★★★☆
“AI Know You is what you might call, in modern Danish, a mind fuck. My companion and I look at each other in disbelief, having no idea what just happened to us. I can’t recall ever being so unsure of how to judge a performance. On the train home, I decide that I won’t give it three or four stars – it’s not a middle-of-the-road show. So is it two stars? Is it five? I genuinely have no idea.”

★★★★★☆
“Kristoffer Helmuth signs off with a powerhouse performance. He jumps in and out of roles that we – apparently – get to influence through voting on our phones. He holds our full attention.”
FYENS STIFTSTIDENDE

★★★★☆☆
“It’s thought-provoking, entertaining, and important for the rest of your life – so it’s important that you see it.”
KJERTEMINDE AVIS

★★★★☆☆
“It’s bold, it’s mind-stirring, and at times genuinely uncomfortable. But it’s also art that dares to take risks.”

“It is an impressively awful contender for the worst pun of the year.”
POLITIKEN

“The audience is both material and co-creator in “AI Know You” at Odense Theatre. A performance that vibrates in the tension between the urge to play and the fear of being seen.”
MAGASINET K10

“Today’s audience is today’s dataset. And it is exactly personal data that helps shape what unfolds on stage. So what can artificial intelligence actually tell us about ourselves? Apparently much more than we understand.”
Tue Biering in DR1’s TV Avisen
