Reuniting the award-winning collaboration of Why Not’s Artistic Director Ravi Jain and Governor General’s Award-winning writer Nicolas Billon (Greenland, Iceland, and Faroe Islands), CODE is a gripping new play that frames computer code as the universal language and currency of power.

After an artificial superintelligence is accidentally released into the ‘wild’ of the internet, a chase ensues to recapture it. But how will it treat its creators? With malevolence, benevolence, or indifference? Finding inspiration in the biblical tale of The Tower of Babel, CODE investigates the moral conundrums raised by the creation of a new intelligence.

This project is part of Why Not’s MAKE stream of activities. MAKE projects are created and produced by us, often touring across the country and the world.
