Dance adaptation reimagines classic sci-fi film The Matrix as a thrilling mass performance. In 1999, we were offered a simple choice: red pill or blue pill? Blissful ignorance in a simulated world or a chance to follow the rabbit hole wherever it goes ... The Matrix made us question reality. What is "human"? Who is really in control? When will we wake up, see through the illusion and step into the unknown? Since then, internet corporations have exerted huge influence in daily life - shaping public opinion, swaying our interactions with others and tracking our movements. Now the Metaverse is about to engulf us. Is this progress or system failure? Could we break free?
