Swangate
Music Theater (60’)
Swangate, a gathering about bird calls and animatronics is an experience in which the audience is invited to follow us into a fictional universe full of conspiracy theories, dealing with the hypothesis that artificial intelligence has already taken over the world in the form of robotic birds and sound is the only way to communicate with them. As the scene of a ritualistic, ornithological gathering, the classical theater stage transforms into a place of togetherness, of exchanging knowledge, where boundaries between the real and the fake start to blur into each other. Should we follow the path of those who say they hold the truth? Who has the compass that governs our lives?
