Before becoming cyborg, Dianna is ordinary and invisible. Her 401K fund is empty. She’s broke, and has body parts which need replacing. When offered an extraordinary opportunity; become cyborg, work for The Machine and make huge amounts of money, Dianna grabs it with both hands. All she has to do is recruit people to become cyborgs. She does and becomes extraordinary. Dianna Dynamic smashes targets like plates, getting to live the life she always dreamed of. When she inadvertently overhears The Machine scheduling her termination because she’s not the latest prototype, her dreams turn to dust. Waiting at the scrapheap to be recycled into a solar panel, Dianna decides; it’s time to give humanity another go. My show questions the seemingly limitless capacity of AI; how resourceful it is and the dangers of an urgent willingness to embrace it. Below the surface this show digs deeper, to examine a woman’s journey about breaking free from oppression, laid on by society’s expectations, and her own. Dianna Dynamic, directed by Australian 4 time gold logie award winner – Lisa McCune, received a 4/5 star review at the 2023 Melbourne Fringe Festival. Reviewer Carla Di Maggio described the production as “a triumph.”
