Aislin is getting older. She suffers the inevitable indignities of being human ⁠-⁠ and hates technology. Stacy, her caregiver is perfectly toned, doesn’t age, and is utterly in control ⁠-⁠ because she’s an AI entity. And there’s a new algorithm out there called AOS or Approximation of Soul. Does Stacy have it? In YOUR NAME MEANS DREAM, José Rivera examines how we live, die, and form our sense of self in a world that’s increasingly saturated with technology.'Breathtaking ... a brilliant world premiere.' ⁠-⁠Bob Ashby, DC Theater Arts'... an electric tale of mortality and loneliness ... a crisp, clean concept for a play, but Rivera takes it far beyond where other playwrights would go. He delves into fresh areas of consciousness and identity ... lyrical, literary bursts of poetry and fluid motion ... astounding to see ... The phrase ’words leap off the page’ apply perfectly to a Rivera script. Emotions get so strong that the characters shift into new models of expression like a visual form of poetic realism.' ⁠-⁠Christopher Arnott, Hartford Courant'... hilarious and sobering ... Rivera hands us all a mirror, offering us an opportunity to reflect on our own relationships ... This story tackles themes of humanity such as age and elder care, family, technology and ethics within the field, and the very prevalent themes of loneliness and life before death ... loads of laughs and inspiration.' ⁠-⁠Kimolee Eryn'... brilliant ... For all the darkness and foreboding that comes with placing a 70-year-old widow under AI’s control, Rivera manages to use this encounter to teach us a lot of valuable lessons about how we ’program’ both machines and each other ... incredibly thrilling, fascinating ... one of the most stunning displays of chaotic virtuosity I’ve ever seen.' ⁠-⁠Andrew White, Broadway World'... eclectic, futuristic, sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant, always clever.' ⁠-⁠Fred Sokol, Talkin’ Broadway'... accomplished ... Rivera has written a torrent of language for [Stacy] which resembles Lucky’s monologue ... and Koviak dances the piece while she speaks it, and she and it are simply brilliant.' ⁠-⁠Mary LinserMar, Broadway World'... [a] fascinating new play ... It is a wonderfully performed two-hander full of spirit, humor, and touching moments ... thoughtfully integrates technology into a very human story.' ⁠-⁠Marina Kennedy, Broadway World'... a body of work that brilliantly brings together the speculative and the real, creating completely unique theatrical experiences ... monumental ...' ⁠-⁠Anne Valentino, MD Theatre Guide
