BLUE BEYOND sets the human in the center placed in a cyclic schema of Time corporeal phenomenological representation and teleological cosmology through audio digital-soma technologies and non-linear interactive meta-dramaturgy.

BLUE BEYOND is a dance performance about time which as an experiential perception, a natural phenomenon, a corporeal event runs through a continuum. It constructs an imaginary condition where future penetrates present and present emerges into future creating overlapping temporalities.Drawing from the sci-fi book of the beginning of the 20th century “Last and First Men: A Story of the Near and Far Future” by Olaf Stapledon, 1930, explores corporealities, cartographies and images of the Future and questions how the idea, the vision or the fantasy of the Future is depicted, reflected, embodied.Through an interplay with mythologies, realities, fictions, topologies, imaginary spaces of the future, memories of the live present and embodied traces of the past, it turns the stage into an active hybrid space with movements, objects, sounds, words and creates a live moving capsule of imprints and visions forming a Memoir for¦of the Future, a cyclic schema to represent time.

The piece uses montage dramaturgy techniques in order to reveal different variations of non-linear performance unfolding and explore how body and movement are affected when transferred in a different temporal condition or spatial context. To enhance this, it implements an interactive sound design technology with live amplification processes, algorithmic prototypes and recording within recording techniques in real time through an installation of ground and space microphones, integrated into the wider stage design.
