Robot ! | Paris performances of French-Japanese dance production

None Blanca Li dance production where eight live dancers share the stage with robots. Blanca Li conceived her ROBOT show after meeting with Maywa Denki (Japanese artists collective) - and with Aldebaran Robotics, a French robotics company. http://vimeo.com/73267626 With ROBOT, Blanca Li takes on the challenge of directing six dancing humanoid robots NAO and an electromechanical orchestra for a blazing show. The surprising encounter between live dancers and robots, both disconcerting and fascinating, make us think differently our interactions with the machines. Man-machines, electromechanical automatons, electronic robots: 3 kinds of relationship to the world, 3 evolutionary stages ? The show will present 3 ways of exploring the interactions between them, in an absurd and poetic way.

Théâtre des Champs Elysées, Paris: December 23, 2013 - January 5, 2014
