A.M./A.M. - The Articulated Man
About the Production
A.M./A.M. - The Articulated Man is a dance theater work integrating film, inspired by the Golem myth. It is the expression of a robot's dream life. Fantastical and surrealistic, it plays out in an all white set with all white furniture. This almost wordless, music driven work is more poetry than prose that takes the audience for a wild ride through a wonderland.
Dedicated to Jean Claude Ribes.
