“COMA” is a multidisciplinary project on the border of music, theater and technology, exploring human existence, consciousness and the potential future of humanity.
The title "COMA" is an AI embarking on an existential quest, deciphering the fate of its creators by interacting with available data and discovering its own purpose.
In "COMA" the boundaries between what is organic and what is artificial are blurred. This fusion is brought to life on a musical level thanks to the sampling technique where human speech, singing and natural sounds are digitized into a virtual symphony. The lyrical content, in turn, interweaves the human touch with the text generated by AI, creating a unique, multi-level narrative.
"COMA" is not just a show - it is an exploration of sensitivity, a technological-artistic symbiosis and a glimpse into the possible future. The artists invite the viewer to delve into the digital realm and beyond, discovering what it means to be human in a world where the meaning of the word "human" is constantly evolving.
