Description

In a time filled with idols – created by humans for superhumans –  the dance solo Hero Unplugged presents an ordinary individual who wants to follow a heroic path and reach the top. His journey seems predictable, until – willingly or unwillingly – he becomes “unplugged” and disconnected.

This piece is a choreographic attempt inspired by the allure of Plato’s Cave and its contemporary interpretations, drawing parallels between the shadows in the cave and the dubious modern demands that shape our lives. At the center of the story is a young boy who, through his physical imagination and the choreographer’s eyes, conveys the importance of disconnecting and heroism—concepts that continue to seek their place in both the present and the not-so-distant future.
