Replica

identity
dance
body

Before the audience, two dancers gradually appear – one of flesh and bone, the other identical, yet made entirely of ones and zeros. Replica is a hypnotic mixed reality performance where the physical and virtual worlds merge into a single space. A live performer dances in perfect harmony with her digital double, who responds to her in real time. The result is a captivating dialogue about the body, transience, memory, and aging – and about how technology reshapes our perception of presence and humanity itself.
