CORTEX

June 14th at Sónar Festival, Barcelona (premiere)

January 31st & February 1st at CTM Festival, Volksbühne, Berlin

Emerging from the depths of the grieving process, CORTEX probes the profound implications of the human brain in the context of existence beyond mortality. It proposes that the temporal lobe's capacity for persistence may be leveraged by the collective consciousness, thereby bridging the divide between individual and collective existence. CORTEX envisions and explores the conditions necessary to realize this transformative possibility.
