On a long, yellow machine belt, two performers balance between man and machine. Their movements are repetitive and angular, interspersed with soft, human touches. In this hypnotic waltz between these two elements, the dancers demonstrate the synergy that occurs when they work together, and take a closer look at dependency.

Choreographer Kelly Vanneste gives a voice to her generation with Machinergy. In a world where technology makes us increasingly individual, the Tilburg-based dance company Alienated asks an urgent question: how do you stay connected to others? Machinergy shows how important cooperation and trust are, and how, despite our desire to be independent, we still need each other. How do you maintain the balance between autonomy and collectivity?

Machinergy is a dance duet full of friction and cooperation, in which the dancers probe each other, challenge and bring each other to new possibilities. A performance that makes you feel how essential connection is. Come and experience this physical quest for connection and autonomy!

About Alienated
Alienated, consisting of Kelly Vanneste and Martijn Schipper, stands for alienation. By combining dance with objects and circus techniques such as acrobatics, they challenge the body. In this way they cast a different light on the body and explore the limits of what is physically possible. Previously they made such works as disCART, a duet with a shopping cart, and Carry My Segment, a duet exploring the boundary between man and object.
