P.O.L.A.R.I.S - Futuristic ballet (performance)

Description:

P.O.L.A.R.I.S (Culture+AI)
Venturing into uncharted territory, we blend ballet with cutting-edge immersive technology and special effects, combining the performance with an otherworldly, alien undertone. This innovative approach makes us think of the potential impact of extraterrestrial intelligence on human society, our lives, and the environment. P.O.L.A.R.I.S. explores the concept of AI becoming sentient, examining the role of "alien" entities in our existence through art. This act challenges us to think of the ethical implications of encountering intelligent life beyond human society.
