A Note from the Choreographer
U>N>I>T>E>D was inspired by a conversation with Gabber Modus Operandi (GMO) in Seminyak, Bali in September 2023. In our first meeting we connected quickly, sharing a sense that spirituality was a force that persisted in the urbanised, industrialised modern world. We talked about an idea of ‘machine mysticism’, and how all things constructed by human hand are in some way each a sacred art object, imbued with our innate self-awareness. The collaboration with GMO, Future Loundry, Creature Technology Co., Benjamin Cisterne and Nicholas Moloney imagines a world of mythic proportions in which earthly forms commune with the gods of the machine world. The extraordinary ceremonial music of GMO fills the space with a powerful energy, driving the performance of the dance ensemble and elevating them into a transcendent state. It has been my privilege to work with such a dedicated and exceptional creative and technical team on U>N>I>T>E>D . I’m thrilled to bring the work to the stage for the first time here in Perth.
