Machine Mysticism

U>N>I>T>E>D is the latest work in the canon of Chunky Move Artistic Director Antony Hamilton’s ‘speculative future’ performances, following recent innovative dance experiences created by the company such as Token Armies (2019) and Yung Lung (2022).  

Exploring ‘machine mysticism’ and the persistence of spirituality in a post-industrial digital age, the work is a major international collaboration with leaders in the Javanese experimental scene, Gabber Modus Operandi Bali-based streetwear label Future Loundry, Australian global leaders in animatronic design, Creature Technology Co., and a stellar line up of six dancers.  

Drawing from its artists’ individual artistic and cultural practices, U>N>I>T>E>D will be an exhilarating melding of sophisticated movement, infectious music and science fiction-inspired design, that honours technologies both ancient and contemporary; inner and collective.
