Dance

“…a very powerful visual show filled with special effects, playful choreography and pungent humour” ── El Pais, Spain

Step into another dimension where humans and machines merge

Eight amazingly agile dancers take to the stage with seven lovable NAO robots, each with its own “personality”. Together they take you into a surreal world where the absurd and humorous meet the poignant and heart-warming, and boundaries between humans and machines fall away. Watch how a robotic novice dancer “learns” to swing with the beat while an eye-opening human-machine partnership inspires an endearing pas de deux.

France’s pioneering Blanca Li Dance Company spent three years creating this international hit, which also incorporates the mechanical orchestra of Japanese avant-garde group Maywa Denki. Serving as art installations as well as providing magical live accompaniment, the automated instruments add to the fluid choreography and dazzling projection to del iver a futurist ic extravaganza. A truly animated dance party that sets in motion the question of what it means to be alive!
