A_life

Performance

A_life is a technological ecosystem in which to explore the encounter between the organic presence of bodies and the inorganic of the machine, in a horizon where the border between the two dimensions tends to thin out. From the point of view of matter, starting with silicon, there are several elements that unite human anatomy with the circuits of technological devices.

A_life becomes an immersive environment through which to experiment choreographic forms of cohabitation, in which the robot and the dancers decline unprecedented behaviors and gestures through which to open an unexplored perceptual space, in a scenario in which the macrocosm evoked by the stage device dialogues with the bodies, that the robot observes and returns to the viewer as if under a microscope. A_life is a reciprocal exchange between body and robot is the pretext to investigate new forms of expression, new ways of living the scene.
