In the organizer's words:

DANCÆ X Chlär is an evening of choreographic works exploring the relationship between body, sound and machine intelligence. Presented over six evenings at Berlin's Haus der Visionäre, the performances illuminate how rhythm shapes perception and social progress while addressing current debates on automation, co-creation, autonomy and resistance.

DANCÆ's collaboration with electronic music artist Chlär places sound at the center of the choreographic experience. Rather than treating music as accompaniment, the performance explores how movement can emerge from sound and how the two influence each other in real time. While Chlär performs a live set, the dancers and the 360° spatial sound installation by d&b audiotechnik become extensions of his composition.

The overarching theme explores rhythm as a structuring principle that permeates biology, technology and systems of progress. Referring to thinkers such as Bernard Stiegler and Gilbert Simondon, the work understands technology as an extension of human memory and as a means of becoming. Rhythm functions simultaneously as pattern and drive, as a process through which the body externalizes itself into mechanism and code. Within this continuum, movement, automation and desire act according to a common logic of modulation and feedback, whereby life and technology appear as inseparable expressions of a common origin.
