Austrian choreographer, dancer and musician Simon Mayer has created his new piece Bones & Wires (premiere: November 23, 2021) together with lighting designer Jan Fedinger and sound designer Moritz Nahold.
In Bones & Wires, Simon Mayer focuses on the different levels of connectedness: the connection from human to human, from human to nature and from human to technology/robotics. Contextually, the piece revolves around theories and practices such as collective consciousness, interdependence, telepathy and channeling.
Bones & Wires explores the question: can robots and new technologies be part of this collective consciousness, this possibility of connectedness? Together with lighting designer Jan Fedinger, sound designer Moritz Nahold and multimedia designer Dominik Strzelec, Simon Mayer breathes a soul into various objects on stage, from piano stools to drums, and enters into a dialog with them in order to become part of the collective consciousness.
Simon Mayer shows the multi-layered possibilities of visible and invisible connections and once again focuses on a perspective that contrasts connectedness with inner and outer division.
