Chunky Move

U>N>I>T>E>D

Chunky Move is a contemporary dance company led by artistic director Antony Hamilton. U>N>I>T>E>D is their unmissable cybernetic performance of apocalyptic scavengers in a speculative world where machine mystics tread the post-industrial wreckage. In this major international collaboration – the third performance in Hamilton’s speculative future series – the soundtrack is provided by Balinese DIY electronic duo Gabber Modus Operandi; the costuming is designed by streetwear label Future Loundry; and the animatronic robotics are by Creature Technology Co. In U>N>I>T>E>D, insectoid limbs protrude from the six performers; above them, a hovering beam traces a timeline between the past and future which the performers come in and out of attachment to. As maximal hardcore beats and bursting arpeggiated riffs resound in the space, the performers dis- and reassemble their machinic limbs, linking their bodies together as hacker convergences of meat and metal. U>N>I>T>E>D explores the persistence of spirituality in the digital age, but in this new prosthetic imaginary, are the dancers moving the machines, or are the machines moving them?
