A contemporary dance piece about creation and responsibility. Antonio Ruz combines Beethoven's music with modern questions about artificial intelligence and humanity.
Description
In "Prometheus," the Spanish choreographer Antonio Ruz connects one of the oldest myths of European culture with contemporary questions of our time. Inspired by Ludwig van Beethoven’s ballet "The Creatures of Prometheus" (1801), the piece tells the story of the Titan who gives humans fire—a symbol of knowledge, art, and progress—and is punished for it.
The narrative is set in the present: the creative figure of Prometheus creates two artificial beings who, in a world shaped by technology and artificial intelligence, learn what it means to be human—to feel, to take responsibility, and to become part of a community. Through movement, music, and encounters, they embark on a choreographic journey that leads from modern spaces into an archaic-organic world where the body takes center stage.
Performed by the dancers of TANZ LINZ and accompanied by Beethoven’s original music, interpreted by the Bruckner Orchestra Linz, the evening unfolds as a dance performance exploring creation, progress, and the ethical challenges of our time.
