U>N>I>T>E>D is the latest work in the canon of Chunky Move Artistic Director Antony Hamilton’s ‘speculative future’ performances, following recent innovative dance experiences created by the company such as Token Armies (2019) and Yung Lung (2022).  

Exploring ‘machine mysticism’ and the persistence of spirituality in a post-industrial digital age, the work is a major international collaboration with prodigal sons of Javanese experimental techno, Gabber Modus Operandi, Bali-based streetwear label Macan Studio, Australian global leaders in animatronic design, Creature Technology Co., lighting designer House of Vnholy, and a stellar line up of six dancers based in Aotearoa/New Zealand and Australia.  

Drawing from its artists’ individual artistic and cultural practices, U>N>I>T>E>D will be an exhilarating melding of sophisticated movement, infectious music and science fiction-inspired design, that honours technologies both ancient and contemporary; inner and collective.
