In a culture increasingly shaped by self-optimization, the work explores our desire to change, improve and become, and the expectations we place on ourselves along the way. The piece asks what happens to love, desire and intimacy when our inner lives become an ongoing project of reflection and transformation. Conceived as a fully immersive experience, spatialized video installations and a new media work extend throughout the entire 2000m2 space, forming an unified environment through which the audience moves and in which choreography, image and architecture unfold together. The Performances Ballet Sur_real, is the official ballet ensemble of DANCÆ, fuses classical ballet with electronic music, integrating immersive installations and innovative technologies into its choreographic language. The creations draw on contemporary life while delving into the deeper psychological motives that drive human behavior.  Concept & Choreography: Soraya Schulthess  Sound Design: Ogtrues  Music Mixing: Ogtrues, Reka Zakalan & Anjawah  Ensemble Members: Marlena Umland, Sofia Repo, Mihael Beliov & Kuang Yung Guest Artists: Alisha Kobyliak, Roksolana Nakvatska, Maria Pommorsky and Camille Jackson.
