The ballet engages multiple narratives – the internet as a utopic space of unfettered and open global communication and self-creation, as sinister military infrastructure, and as motor for a round-the-clock infotainment culture. A fully immersive experience, the performance plays with abrupt changes in pacing, music and choreographic styles, from classical to contemporary.
