Blanca Li debuted her dance production “ROBOT” which was accompanied by a 10-member mechanical orchestra whose instruments double as witty and riveting art installations created by the award-winning Japanese designer team Maywa Denki. Influenced by kinetic art and techno-pop, Maywa Denki’s back-to-the-future musical objects, created from resin, aluminum and feathers, are complex electro-mechanical devices, which play music only when activated by humans.
“ROBOT” has been playing to sold-out houses in more than 60 cities throughout France, Belgium, Spain, Portugal and Italy since its world premiere at the Montpellier Dance Festival in Montpellier, France in 2013. The performance was followed with a celebration of cocktails and live music by Cristina Hernandez y su Grupo Internacional.
