The Stage Production

“Eve 2050 is first and foremost an experiment, with a capital E. With its way of engaging almost intimately with the audience, this interactive piece offers a unique experience for each spectator.” – Pieuvre

Is a perfect symbiosis between reality and virtual reality underway? How will human identity be redefined?

While a certain biotechnological enthusiasm was apparent in the first two parts of this project (presented at Agora de la dance in autumn 2018), its conclusion throws a veil of mystery over the destiny of humanity. The choreographer Isabelle Van Grimde questions the dominance of the GAFA giants (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon) in the development of artificial intelligence (AI). Her piece is a poetic appeal, a call to eradicate cultural prejudices in this domain and to insure that a healthy diversity of cultures, genders and ages participates in its construction.

Evoking the infinity of the cosmos, the work includes enticing glances at the wonder and hope created by new technologies. While it reprises some of the technologies of Symphonie 5.1 (2016), the very complexity of their use, coupled with the integration of the interactive portals of the EVE 2050 installation, accentuate the immersive effect and the bewitching power of this stage production.

From October the 8^th to 11^th at the Agora
