Over the last few years the population of bees has declined considerably. No bees means no plants, no food, and therefore no humans. In order to save the planet researchers have invented pollinator drones to replace real bees. By ensuring plant reproduction, these pollinator drones would be responsible for a creational function, inherently reserved for living beings. What is the place of the human being in a world where drones take responsibility for the primary process of reproduction and creation?

The choreographic research in the piece Entrelacs aims for a physical translation of human existential experiences through the mechanics of knitting. From one stitch to another, the body follows a meandering course created by the yarn, knitting and unraveling itself, making knots, tending and releasing.
This piece is about the threads existing in our consciousness and in our body: the threads of time, of society, as well as the most primordial threads, such as the umbilical cord, which connected us so to our mother.

After a “delicate at 37°C” wash, a new born body tangled in fresh clothes slides out of a washing machine. Oscillating between “pure” and “dirty”, the new being goes through human existential experiences, ending up with a cathartic jubilation of life.

What is a hazard? Is it nothing more than a sequence of causes and effects forming an infinitely complex algorithm? Rand() which signifies a programming function that generates pseudo-random results, immerses the viewer in a game with unpredictable results.

Rand() is a result of a dance workshop on algorithmic methods of choreographic composition, led by Veronika Akopova and Florian Goralsky in Moscow in partnership with Pro Dvigenie, Contemporary dance, Russia.
Between video-dance and video game, the film proposes the audience to challenge chance by participating in a series of games with desembodied protagonists and random results.
The original music was composed by an award-winning composer Andrei Karasyov, and was inspired by slot machines and casino roulette.
