An avant-garde theatrical production that merges movement and new media art to explore the intricate processes of human identity and cognitive formation.

Azure Synthetic Souls

Azure Synthetic Souls is an avant-garde theatrical production that ventures into the intricate processes of cognitive formation and identity construction. This experimental piece blends contemporary dance, new media art, physical theatre, and other innovative forms of expression. Audiences are invited to embark on a mesmerizing journey through the abstract realms of the mind, where thoughts, emotions, and experiences converge to shape our understanding of self and reality.

The video is the first 17 minutes of a 50-minute performance in which I was collaborating.
