In the half-light, under a cold light, five silhouettes wake up, move in a jerky, precise way. These five figures, sensitive humanoid robots or new generation of augmented human beings, evolve before the eyes of the spectators, active witnesses of the metamorphosis that takes place throughout the piece. It is in contact with the other, in close proximity with the audience, that these phenomena humanize themselves to become real living beings, indistinguishable from a biological Human, with the only difference that these super-humans underline our human vulnerability, leaving our future in suspense.

 

Philosophical reflection, story of Humanity, aesthetic meditation, Phenomena explores the infinite possibilities of amplification and transcendence of the body and questions the evolution of the Human in a not so distant future.
