The Brave New World is a multimedia show that takes its cue from the famous dystopian novel by Aldous Huxley and tells of the encounter between an indigenous man coming out of a reserve and a girl of a future society, technological, divided into castes and genotypes in which love, Family and pain are extinct and society is happier. Utopian, egalitarian and technocratic society shows the indigenous people a comfortable and light life but the absence of mystery, sacrifice and emotional ties will lead them to a destructive refusal. The comparison between a world imbued with beliefs and instincts and a new world optimized and sedated at the same time stages a dilemma in which it is difficult to take a stand.

The performance takes place in a scenic space characterized by a technological architecture, a dense network of cables that connect performative devices developed by the artists, who control them live. The images are distributed between screens positioned on the stage and a large projection, alternating abstract visual imagery and enchanters to video footage of indigenous tribes, made by researchers and anthropologists. Sound environments are composed of ambient recordings, artificial voices and fragmented melodies.
