Residency Setembre-October 2024
This project is a sci-fi story. A choreographic piece in process that takes the human body to experiment with its physical and biological limits, and to fable about the possibilities of connecting, updating or mutating in relation to its current and future historical context. We are on the threshold of a technological revolution that can fundamentally affect the way we live, work and relate.
