This 15-minute performance follows on from last year's cooperation with Johannes Braumann and the Ars Electronica Futurelab. It is based on Gertrud Bodenwieser's play “Dämon Maschine” (1923), in which five dancers turned into one machine. Now, five machines play one dancer. Whereas in the original performance each person controlled a part of a machine, an industrial Kuka robot now controls a body part. Choreographer and dancer Silke Grabinger goes into a dance with this marionette.

The Feline Project

Online cat content and robopets represent a deeply human yearning. Choreographer Dagmar Dachauer, together with video artist Kilian Immervoll, initiates a humorous and bewildering interaction between the ancient pet, human and robot through a hyper-detailed movement language.
