Parables for the Biotech Age: A Night of Live Performance

Biotech is creeping into daily life and it’s both dangerous and wonderful. All around us transformation is happening, often invisibly. From the tiniest shifts in our DNA to ripples across cultures, come see our very near, very strange future projected onto The Tech’s IMAX dome, accompanied by live performances. 

Through live music and storytelling, film and animation, experience the new forms of life being created by human design and the moral ambiguities they provoke. Get ready for a night of Parables for the Biotech Age.

Produced by Daniel Grushkin and thesupercurious with support from Biodesign Challenge, The Tech Interactive, and Ginkgo Bioworks.
