SIRI is
a sci-fi dance piece which proposes a dystopian future
in which human, technological and digital are mingled and confused. The piece takes place in a field that is both archaeological and technological, that holds different memories, uses and modes of expression of the bodies, images, objects and movement between them produced.
In a large purple carpet, the color of reincarnation, 12 robotic bodies and four human bodies awaken and explore their sensibilities.
Choreography is thought of as a regeneration process in which the bodies seek to heal themselves and become progressively more functional. In a process similar to therapies based on oscillatory resonance, gestures alternate between an undulating artificial presence and massages made to themselves and each other -
The 4 human interpreters wake up from a deep sleep and do a kind of scan of the space and their bodies. They actually look like part of the same story or material. When they finally get closer, their massage becomes collective and progressively deeper and more violent, a journey through the body - from the skin through the flesh, bone and finally viscera and "heart".
The place of robots
on stage is no longer the one in the shadow, that illuminates human bodies on stage. But of being seen and assuming a choreographic and scenic role.
Throughout the play they observe, are observed, accumulate information and try to mimic human bodies, to perform choreographies, as if they were forming a corps des ballet.
The bodies linger in this hypnotic mantra, supported by sound and visual compositions that accentuate this pulsating energy and that influence their rhythms and their amplitude in the construction of a melancholic and mysterious universe.
A short-story
from Isaac Asimov - Eyes do more than see.
The story is presented in Voice-over while it is subtitled in the screen in the language where it is being presented the performance.
