Vertigo of the infinite

Visionary choreographer Wayne McGregor explores the intersections of the body, technology, and artificial intelligence to expand the boundaries of movement. A vertiginous journey that awakens every sense.

Since the beginning of time, humankind has had a fascination with the void. From deep sea to deep space, these dark, mysterious zones ignite both our imagination and our desire to explore our world to its limits. Deepstaria — a title inspired by an enigmatic species of jellyfish with a stellar-sounding name — is a highly sensory, meditative pure dance and sound experience which reflects on our profound relationship with the void and our own mortality.

“Journeying beyond ourselves, we search for knowledge to illuminate and develop our human condition. At the same time, these spaces of infinite blackness, womb-like, are strangely familiar — sounding forgotten connections deep within, and stirring, perhaps, faint echoes of unconscious states of being, floating in places of before and after”.

- Sir Wayne McGregor.
