Turn on. Turn off.

Define options; live, love, think, make mistakes, fail. Be better than human existence. Save. Integrate. Go beyond. Live.

This time, DEKKADANCERS draw inspiration from artificial intelligence, bringing robots to life on stage. But in their interpretation, these are far from cold, lethal machines. Instead, they explore the idea of a perfect being, capable of living, loving and thinking better than humans. But is such a thing even possible?

The three robots from the A.I. show know this all too well. As portrayed by dancers Štěpán, Ondřej, and Viktor, they are not the cold, lethal monsters you might expect. DEKKADANCERS work with the idea of a perfect being capable of living, loving, and thinking better than any human. But is that even possible?

This dance performance with elements of drama is accompanied by audio recordings featuring voices you’ll recognize, such as Pavla Beretová, Igor Orozovič, or Jiří Lábus. Štěpán Pechar was even nominated for the Thalia Award for his role.

Please note that strobe and smoke effects are used in the performance.
