*Magh

Dance and robotics: 3 humans + 1 semi-autonomous animated machine.

*Magh, created by choreographer Jean-Marc Matos in collaboration with roboticist Thomas Peyruse, features three dancer-performers Lisa Biscaro Balle, Ambre Cazier and Marianne Masson in the presence of an atypical machine. It’s a unique opportunity to question our relationship as humans, as bodies, to this object capable of consuming energy to move, this eternal animal. The piece sets out to explore new poems about this dystopian Human vs Machine relationship.

How can these different intelligences be brought together? The intelligence of matter, of the body, of the animal and that of the machine. How do we construct this dialogue between the ‘living’ and the immortality of the machine? How can we explore the ‘physical’ relationships of reciprocity, fusion and conflict?

In the age of artificial intelligence, we need to shake up the body-machine interface.
