CODESS is the latest project by queer Berlin fashion label UY Studio, combining fashion, music, dance, art and light into an immersive dance performance taking place at Halle. The performance addresses a post-pandemic world marked by tension and confronts the increasing use of intelligent technology. During the performance, an intelligent robot will interact with the audience and with 12 international queer dancers who will extend the scene.
CODESS is an interactive installation with live performances, in which performers, machinery, light and sound merge. Temporarily, we are in the near future. The pandemic slowly becomes controllable, but the world is left exhausted. Smoke is rising, lights flicker on the horizon and hope is in the air. The voice of a promise whispers a soft welcome to a new world. A robot within a landscape of a large 4DSOUND system constitutes the immersive installation. The robot’s outstretched arm rotates around its associated body in a circle, interacting with and challenging the audience. During the performances, a group of twelve dancers will activate the landscape further. Their bodily movements will confront the ever-intensifying tension between the human body and the surrounding technology of our present society.
UY Studio brought the project to life in collaboration with Monom Studios / 4DSOUND (Sound Experience Production), Dasha Rush and William Russell (Sound Design) and Candela Capitan (Movement Direction).
