In the shadows, under a cold light, five silhouettes awaken, twitching and pulsating in sharp and concise movements. These five phenomena, sensitive humanoid robots, or a new generation of enhanced human beings, evolve before the eyes of the audience who become active witnesses of the metamorphosis that takes place. Through contact with the Other, in close proximity to the public, the phenomena humanize, morph, becoming true-to-life living beings, indistinguishable from biological Humans. However, these super-Humans, with their enhanced capacities and potentials, emphasize our human vulnerability and frailty, leaving our future to fate or uncertainty.
A philosophical reflection, history 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.
