About the Event
Set within a life-size installation by Swiss-based visual artists Encor Studios, Modalities of Me is a new ballet set to electronic music that explores how modern love is shaped and often distorted by the environments we move through: digital spaces, club culture, curated identities, and hyper-capitalist frameworks. The piece examines how desire shifts under pressure, how we perform it, commodify it, consume it, and sometimes destroy it. The work invites audiences to reflect on intimacy as something both fragile and volatile in today’s world.

Ballet Sur_real, is the official ballet ensemble of DANCÆ, fusing classical ballet with electronic music and integrating immersive installations and innovative technologies into its choreographic language. Modalities of Me examines how modern love is shaped and often distorted by the environments we move through: digital spaces, club culture, curated identities, and neoliberalist frameworks. It examines how desire shifts under pressure, how it’s performed, commodified, and consumed.
