Newtons Duet / Another Kind of Blue / David Middendorp

The interaction between man and technology is the central theme of Newton’s Duet. The choreography explores the line between the positive and the negative influences of technology on mankind. The reference in the title to Isaac Newton is based on his three laws of nature that describe the movement and balance of forces. These natural laws made him one of the founders of classical mechanics. To a certain extent, major technological innovations, that are now subject of ethical debates on technology, build on the work of Newton. Middendorp uses drones as part of the choreography. An interaction between the drones and a dancer suggests the ambiguous relationship between man and technology. Together they show moments of symbiosis as well as of conflict, the dark and the playful side of technology.
