Sonica: Angel Death Traps by Alexander Schubert x NEKO3
A growing movement anticipates a future in which the division between man and machine dissolves – a quantum leap in the history of our species, in which eternal life and transferable consciousnesses aren’t science-fiction but existent fact. This vision of a cyborg future prompts strong reactions, both positive and negative, as music ensemble NEKO3 and multimedia composer Alexander Schubert explore in this pop concert of the future, featuring ambiguously humanoid figures performing a song cycle of love, loss and existence.
Angel Death Traps was commissioned and produced thanks to the generous support of Ernst von Siemens Musikstiftung, Statens Kunstfond and Koda.
