Synopsis

A sci-fi performance blending ancient traditions from diverse cultures. It unveils a dystopian future through staged archaeological finds, where cyborgs adopt and distort rituals of a vanished humanity. Drawing from cyberpunk, video games, and comic aesthetics, the show combines multimedia elements, ancient artefacts, and live action. The scenography features micro-spaces as movie sets, with real-time creation visible to the audience. Techniques include live camera, LED lighting, shadow play, video-mapping, and dynamic objects.
