Schrodinger’s Catfish is billed as a “mind-bending exploration of affection within the age of the endless Turing check.”
Brainy ideas with a wacky bent have lengthy been heart stage on the Extra time Theater, and playwright Lemuel Mitchell’s Schrodinger’s Catfish is not any exception.
For starters, its title references physicist Erwin Schrödinger’s pivotal “thought experiment” that positioned an imaginary cat in a closed field with a flask of poison and a radioactive supply linked to a geiger counter.
First mentioned with Albert Einstein in 1935, the idea illustrated one of many key principals of quantum mechanics: that in contrast to the unseen feline — which was both lifeless or alive contained in the field — particles within the microscopic realm can exist in a number of states without delay.
With a broad nod to misleading characters that troll the web, Schrodinger’s Catfish wryly questions actuality by three ultimately converging narratives following two avatars on a primary date, a pair of morally challenged builders at a tech startup behind a new courting app, and a younger couple grappling with real-life romance and the attract of the digital world.
Dave Stone-Robb directs a solid of six — to not point out an inanimate character dubbed The Toaster — in what’s billed as a “mind-bending exploration of affection within the age of the endless Turing check.”
$12-$18, Could 17-25, 8 p.m. Friday-Saturday, 3 p.m. Sunday, Gregg Barrios Theater on the Extra time, 540 Bandera Highway #205, (210) 557-7562, theovertimetheater.org.
