La Máquina de Turing (Turing’s machine), a play by Benoit Solès that has won four Molière Awards, arrives at the Teatros del Canal in a theatrical duel directed by the Argentine playwright Claudio Tolcachir and starring Daniel Grao and Carlos Serrano.
Manchester. Winter 1952. After having suffered a burglary at his home, Professor Turing filed a complaint at the police station. Because of his unconventional appearance, at first Sergeant Ross does not take him seriously. But his presence does not escape the secret services. And for good reason, Alan Turing is a man with many secrets… From his incredible determination to decipher the Enigma code, to his irrepressible race to understand the code of nature, an atypical and endearing man is discovered, the inventor of “A thinking machine”, the true genesis of artificial intelligence and computers… Marked forever by the death of his childhood friend, Christopher, Alan Turing will finally be convicted of homosexuality and will end his days, just like Snow White, by eating a poisoned apple… Here is the extraordinary fate of a genius who remained unjustly in the shadows and who was crushed by the well-thought-out machinery of 1950s England. A man who had changed the world! Timetables and tickets at this link.
