Created by Australian choreographer Adam Linder in close collaboration with the dancers of Dansk Danseteater, based at the Copenhagen Opera House, Drip Tekhne reflects on the process through which our bodies become technical apparatuses for dance. Structured in four parts, the performance brings together primordial creatures that gradually evolve into hybrid mechanical bodies and, later, into thinking individuals integrated within a community.

The bodies ultimately transform into a dancing collective, celebrating movement as an unparalleled technical deployment of human biology. Engaging with the intersection between human bodies and digital technologies, Linder raises questions about how our physicality is shaped within an increasingly virtual world, while developing a distinctive aesthetic that interweaves movement, pop culture, music, visual art, architecture and fashion.
