Can we be friends?
CONNY JANSSEN DANST | MACIEJ KUŹMIŃSKI
A dance meditation on AI, control, and the fragile line between creator and creation. Like a porcelain figure turning inside a music box, something captivating yet disturbing is set in motion by invisible machinery. As dancers become language incarnate - an uncanny presence suspended between the real and the virtual - the distinction between us and them becomes increasingly uncertain. Caught between fascination and apprehension, we wonder: can we be friends?
What Kuźmiński reveals is a distinct voice and style, along with precision and humour.
With Can We Be Friends?, he has, in any case, created a remarkably timely, funny, and clever piece of choreography.
