THE BLANC, 15 East 40th Street, New York, NY 10016
This performance is part of an ongoing exploration of making kin with other forms of existence across the margins of language and meaning. Developed at the Human-Machine Improvisation Lab at the Digital Arts and Experimental Media department at the University of Washington, Seattle, our methodology constructs the performative stage as a laboratory where human and non-human create a unique language that emerges from the gaps of translations, imagination, ritual and symbiotic experimentation. Through this live dialogue of translation and mis-translation, human and machine performers search for a way to narrate the world together, forging a shared experience that is an endless becoming, a question inhabited and unraveled live on stage.
