💃 contemporary, experimental, AI
Everyday turned strange. A box appears without warning. A chair rebels. Between an artificial intelligence with the soul of Maya Deren, moving grief, and a tribute to classic pie-throwing cinema, this session explores broken routines and bodies that dance where you least expect them. A tangible space for the abstract, where laughter and loss go hand in hand.
