About:
Wayne Stewart is a theatre-maker who turns big philosophical questions into
lived experiments. In ASURA, he designs an AI spiritual guide in an
attempt to reach enlightenment. Built around routines, structure and
self-optimisation, the experiment collapses when illness intervenes,
forcing him to begin again from a very different place. An offbeat solo

acceptance, asking what remains when the need to optimise falls away.
