New Religion
Mathilde Caeyers
Free will or artificial intelligence? Do humans control technology, or does technology control us?
New Religion is a science-fiction dance performance about how artificial intelligence gains a god-like authority over humans. Five dancers move in a four-meter high labyrinth, which dictates the body's movement space. It is a cold and dystopian performance that juxtaposes the mechanical and the organic, blurring the line between reality and fiction. What is free will in a high-tech society?
The labyrinth - or scenography - is the installation Nevel by Tromsø-based Belgian artist Lawrence Malstaf.

Comments on the workshop:
We can teach repertoire from the performance, including material that takes place in the installation as it moves. Then the dancers can experience what it is like to dance with a moving object.
