Go back Artūrs Nīgalis – “Made by person”
16.10.2025.
In the dance performance “Made by Person”, three performers confront their own instincts and the urge to control them, interacting with kettlebells suspended from the ceiling. The piece explores the relationship between human creativity and artificial intelligence, what is still truly made by a person, and what is generated by an algorithm? Choreographer Artūrs Nīgalis invites the audience to reflect on strength, resistance, and fragility in the age of technology
