Australian Dance Theatre:
Devolution

In its ADAPT digital season, Australian Dance Theatre will dip into its previously-unseen performance archives to stream key works from artistic director Garry Stewart’s 20 year tenure.

In Devolution Garry Stewart collaborated with Canadian roboticist Louis-Philippe Demers, UK video artist Gina Czarnecki and London based costume designer Georg Meyer-Wiel to create a startling and unique world. Situating humans in communion with 30 robotic machines and prosthetics, Devolution explores the relationship between robotic and human performers within an artificial ecosystem.
