Venue: Dance Base Yokohama

Living in a society who worships superficial phenomenon rather than fact, imaginations and endless entertainment becomes compulsory in this surreal world. What defines reality? What constitutes falsehood? In the labyrinthine of lust and desires, does succumbing to any form of indulgence will serve as a proof of our own existence? or merely an escape from realities? Should we attempt to challenge this society that doesn’t require ‘reality’ by indulging in our unrestrained desires as an insignificant joke to demonstrate our rebellion?

◆Message from the artist

This performance is an 2nd stage of our research project, an exploratory journey, combining and intersecting the realms of physical movement, digital images, and AI Generated Content (AIGC) technology. We convert physical body into virtual objects by dissecting and reinterpreting it. How would AI, which does not have a physical form in the real world, understand the body expressions we created? Body which has been serving as a vital medium for life and reality, however, under such circumstance, how much authenticity can we preserve amidst the expanse of virtual information?

This will be a visually appealing, spectacular performance presenting the controversial dialogue between the emotional human physical expression and logical deduction of AI technology. We sincerely invite you to this festival of innovation and exploration.

Thanks to the support of Dance Base Yokohama and Macau Dansations V- an incubation platform for original dance works.
