We Live In An Old Chaos Of The Sun
We Live In An Old Chaos Of The Sun
We Live In An Old Chaos of the Sun is a new contemporary dance work bringing together worlds of choreography with immersive, realtime digital technology. It’s a moment to ponder our relationship with what’s to come.
An entire universe set in motion by a single human body.
In a world where technology and creativity collide, they're creating an experience where the human body becomes the catalyst for an evolving, responsive digital ecosystem.
A collaboration with the artists of Uncharted Limbo Collective, ’We live in an old chaos of the sun’ is a new creation that blends dance and digital technology in the 360, pushing the boundaries of performance innovation.
Pioneering and avant-garde, the project brings together a diverse array of talents at the forefront of their respective fields, uniting award-winning and critically acclaimed creatives with long-standing connections to communities, audiences, and venues throughout the UK.
The work invites you into a world where technology is something to embrace; it’s playful, collaborative, and ultimately it’s human. As we step toward the future, this work is powered by the belief that we have a lot to look forward to.

Aims of the project
Throughout this project, they want to shift the narrative from alienation to connection, showing that the future can be something exciting, accessible, and filled with limitless possibility. The support from Immersive Arts UK allows us to take our work to the next level, deepening and scaling our research with responsive tech.
Across immersive residency weeks they aim to develop our work using motion capture alongside offering a range of public engagement initiatives across the UK.
This project builds upon two years of their work in this area and will help to bring their ideas to life. It is a bold, exciting step into the future of live performance and whether it be with artists, audiences or participants in workshops, this project is not just about technology or dance; it’s about rethinking how we connect with our world, with each other, and with the possibilities of the future.
Future facing, forward thinking dance meets immersive 360° projection.
