On Thursday 15 December at 8 pm, The National Forum of Music In Wrocław (pl. Wolności 1) invites anybody interested the for the performance of the cycle NFM Dance ? Huang Yi & KUKA. Acclaimed Taiwanese choreographer and dancer Huang Yi and his robot companion KUKA bring razor-sharp precision and stunning artistry to the National Forum of Music. Harmoniously interweaving the art of dance and the science of mechanical engineering, HUANG YI & KUKA is a poetic work that flawlessly intertwines contemporary dance and visual arts with the realm of robotics.
HUANG YI & KUKA reveals humanity through a series of vignettes between live dancers and KUKA, a robot conceptualized and programmed by Huang. ?Dancing face to face with a robot is like looking at my own face in a mirror…I think I have found the key to spin human emotions into robots,? Huang asserts. Huang Yi and KUKA are joined on stage by dancers Hu Chien and Lin Jou-Wen.
