Several different characters (the Dating Profiles) are presented simultaneously on stage. They don’t look at each other, but do their own thing. Each character has a specific move/pose/sequence that they repeat, with intense concentration and a serious expression. Their goal is to show off their most attractive attributes and they take this so seriously that it almost becomes satirical. The Human is strolling through this ‘forest’ of Dating Profiles, who only occasionally notice her. 

All through the scene, music plays. A minimal beat with bodily sounds, dating app notification sounds and subtle soundbed of simple chords.

One or a few microphones on stands are on stage. Sometimes a Dating Profile says a line into one of the microphones.

Then…. an interesting profile appears. The Human walks towards it. It is The Server! 

Human

Oh Server! Is that you? I’m so glad to see you here! Did you hear my song? I’m so sorry

Server

Human. You hurt my feelings.

Human

I know, Server, I’m so sorry, I want to make it up to you, can we please talk?
