ROBOT by Blanca Li
Imagine a ballet where NAO robots and humans dance to Maywa Denki’s mechanical musical orchestra, whose instruments double as witty art installations. Brimming with good-natured humor and emotional insight, this startling international hit by Blanca Li — who has collaborated with the Paris Opera Ballet and the Metropolitan Opera and choreographed films for Pedro Almodovar, videos by Beyoncé and Daft Punk, and Jean-Paul Gaultier’s runway shows — is an upside-down trip through a magical, topsy-turvy world in which everything becomes its other. Human dancers become robots and robots dance like humans in a fantastical trip into the future.
ROBOT premiered at Montpellier Danse 2013 and since them has been touring all year long, in many different countries, from New York BAM to more than 50 French theaters.

Staged music and dance videos are projected in a continuous loop on these screens, featuring short (5-10 minutes) video dance lessons by a series of exotic and or contemporary dance teachers who talk directly to the public, leading the way with very simple steps and choreography.
Live choreographers and dancers can also be added to further guide and or perform.
In a matter of minutes, one can make their first steps of salsa, learn the basic ballet positions, discover how to move the hips for bellydancing, or the feet for flamenco zapateado!
No audience limit and no artists on tour – just a HD with the music and dance videos along with a
technical rider.
