We laugh alone at our phones and together in rooms. But what is laughter actually doing to u s – and for us – in a world that often feels absurd? “Yet We Laugh ” is a 45-minute lecture-performance in which a narrator tries – and r epeatedly fails – to pin down what laughter and humour might mean to a h uman being. Through spoken text\, sound and staged actions\, the piece inv ites the audience to sit inside humour as a complex embodied and cultural phenomenon\, rather than just something “funny” that happens on top of life. Along the way\, we also meet a machine that is trying to learn how to laugh. As it stutters through giggles and glitches\, the performance op ens up questions about psychology\, attention\, and how theory can be perf ormed on stage to show the entanglement between humans\, language\, object s and technology. This isn’t a “how to be funny” workshop – it’s a live experiment: what does our laughter reveal about us\, and whose pur poses does it serve?Together\, we’ll explore Laughter as interruption - How laughter shows up as an embodied response that disrupts reasoning and language – and why that disruption matters. Humour that doesn’t transl ate - Why humour is so hard to define across cultures\, contexts and situa tions\, and what gets lost (or revealed) when jokes fail. Laughter as some thing we do together - Echo\, complicity and collective attention: what ha ppens when we laugh in a room\, and what kinds of social bonds or tensions that creates. Lecture meets performance\, human meets machine - How combi ning spoken theory\, sound and staged actions – plus a machine learning to “laugh” – can make abstract ideas suddenly tangible.
