About Isaiah Wilson
Score, by Isaiah Wilson, explores the impact of technology on nature and human life. Using electric muscle stimulation, three performers' muscles are involuntarily activated, allowing choreography to be driven by computational code. The piece questions how advancements meant to simplify life may disconnect us from free will and cognitive abilities, raising ethical concerns about technologies that challenge the human body's relevance in society. It is a contemporary and experimental dance work.
Why see this show?
Genuinely unusual: choreography that is partly not chosen but computed. Score asks unsettling questions about the human body and technology through movement, and the thirty-minute running time makes it a tightly focused, thought-provoking watch.
