Incorporeal Memoirs is an interdisciplinary performance which tells the story of a future being who has shed her physical form and now exists only in the digital realm. The work is born from the idea of the technological singularity, a proposed moment in future when technology grows beyond human control. The show delves into profound questions about existence without a body, the absence of physical sensations, and the future of dance when the body is gone. The stage itself: sound, light, projection, water, and smoke, become the central performers, while the audience's presence sustains these imagined worlds.
The performance is an ode to the human body and our senses, as well as a contemplation of what may remain when they are no longer present.
