VOLT(AGE)
An immersive ballet between humans and technology
Technology meets people, algorithm meets movement, modernity meets ballet
In cooperation with Musikalische Komödie Leipzig, Kunstkraftwerk Leipzig presents a world premiere: Volt(age) – an immersive ballet that brings the interdependence between humans and technology to life in a unique fusion of dance, interactive visuals and sound.
An electric symbiosis of body, code and sound
Volt(age) breaks with traditional ballet conventions and creates a completely new stage experience. With the help of motion tracking and digital projections, visual elements react to the dancers’ movements in real time – sometimes in harmonious fusion, sometimes in tense resistance. The stage becomes a living interface between man and machine.
An immersive experience in a unique setting
The production combines electronic techno sounds with orchestral soundscapes, creating a hypnotic acoustic dimension that emotionally intensifies the dance and the story. The choreography by Mirko Mahr, Sara Brandao and Lolita Valau brings this dramatic development to life with the dancers of Musikalische Komödie Leipzig.
Behind the spectacular visuals and sound design is French digital artist and artistic director Nicolas Landrieux (Exhausted Lab), who is rethinking immersive art and challenging the boundaries of dance and technology with his multidisciplinary approach.
Experience a performance in which movement meets digital algorithms, creating an electrifying dialogue between humans and technology.
– a powerful fusion of body, code and sound in the impressive atmosphere of the Kunstkraftwerk Leipzig.
