The AiEP company, a pioneer in experimental dance applied to new technologies, reinterprets the 19th-century ballet Coppélia, presenting a contemporary version: a posthuman figure capable of challenging the traditional boundaries between body, technology and nature.

Originally conceived as a female simulacrum constructed by male desire, Coppélia ceases here to be an object of projection and control, transforming instead into an autonomous, sensitive and observant presence.
On stage, her body no longer seeks to imitate the human being, but evolves towards a form of diffuse, non-hierarchical intelligence, inspired by the relational models of living forms. Coppélia rejects the logic of functionality and domination to move towards a contemplative dimension, in which perception, listening and interdependence become forms of knowledge.
Through movement, the performance constructs a bodily language that dissolves the fixed notion of identity and challenges the presumed superiority of human beings over other living beings. What emerges is a new ecology of relationship, in which intelligence no longer equates to control, but to the capacity to coexist, connect and inhabit the world in a reciprocal and non-destructive manner.
