Mirror//Rite of Spring

In his most ambitious project to date, Alexander Whitley fuses dance, live motion capture and AI in a new double bill exploring the ancient and ongoing struggle between human autonomy and the forces that shape our fate.

Body and technology come face to face, providing an intimate window into our deepening relationship with intelligent machines in Mirror, and bringing a radically new perspective to Stravinsky’s masterpiece, The Rite of Spring.

Drawing on mythology, machine logic, and raw physicality, these two new works reflect our past and speculate on our future - from the haunting influence of algorithmic systems to the ritualistic surrender to something greater than ourselves.

Together, Mirror and The Rite of Spring offer a visceral journey through observation, transformation and the enduring human need to be seen.
