Introduction
Expanding his previous work Second Body, choreographer HSIEH Chieh-hua explores the dramatic transformation of human body enabled by technology in CyborgEros.
In CyborgEros, allows both on-site and off-site audience to manipulate the dancers’ physical movements with software and even replace the dancers with audience members’ own bodies. Different perspectives challenge the perception that seeing is believing and the distinction between the stage and audience is blurred.
A culmination of a series of HSIEH’s previous works, the piece explores the definition of reality when one cannot tell human flesh from its digital extension. The combination of virtual and in-person performance supported by enhanced AI recognition and algorithm technologies will give the audience a physical experience of the total chaos about to be unleashed by technology.
