The Bone Algorithm

The space moves the dancers, their movement generates sound, the sound redesigns the space…. The result is a delicate interplay of cause and effect, but who is the instrument and who is the player?

The Bone Algorithm is an interdisciplinary performance with a kinetic installation that produces music through the movement of the dancers.

The performance poses the question: Could the inner workings of Artificial Intelligence be reversed in Organic Intelligence? Amos Ben-Tal, Gosse de Kort and Salvador Breed once again join forces and explore the theme of the “devolution” of technology. The performance imagines a possible future where a tipping point is reached and life starts to imitate technology. What kind of beings would we become?

The Bone Algorithm is intriguing not only for the experienced dance lover, but also for fans of visual art and new music. Interweaving powerful dance, sound and image, the three artists create a total experience for the audience. After the performance, the audience is invited to “play” the instrument themselves and explore the space.

“But listen carefully, the bodies reveal secrets through the bare straight lines. You hear much more than what you hear.” – Theaterkant

“It is an ongoing, exciting interaction: the dancer ‘plays with’ the installation and influences the shape and volume of the space.” – NRC

“The dance is sometimes virtuosic and intense, and sometimes still and subtle. The beautiful tension that was created moved me.”
