A años luz tells the story of a hypothetical relationship between a human and a highly complex humanoid robot. Technology and artificial intelligence are being continuously developed, and it won’t be long before robots form part of our society. Humans will have to evaluate the positive aspects of technology, but over and above that we will need to learn to control our already substantial dependency on it so as to safeguard our status as ‘human beings’.
This is the first creation by A R I B E L Collective, a contemporary dance company founded by Ariadna Jordán and Abel Hernández in 2023. The founders, who both direct and perform, work with choreography, improvisation and research into new movements in their quest to enrich the cultural landscape with innovation and creativity.
