Contemporary Dance Performance 'Sugmija' Explores Why We Trust Bots More Than People
Premiering on July 16 at the Riga Circus Dance House, 'Sugmija' is a contemporary dance piece that examines human transformation in the digital age and our shifting trust from fellow humans to technology.
The central theme of the new contemporary dance performance 'Sugmija' is humanity's relationship with technology. Set to premiere this Thursday, July 16, at the Riga Circus Dance House, the piece delves into how technological advancement alters our interpersonal trust.
In an era where chatbots and digital assistants increasingly earn our confidence, 'Sugmija' questions whether this new reliance undermines our connections with other people. The performance uses physical movement to reflect the inner transformations caused by everyday use of technology.
Artists behind the piece encourage audiences to contemplate the boundary between human and artificial, and to consider whether we truly understand why we place our trust where we do. The premiere on July 16 offers the first opportunity to see this timely and thought-provoking work.
