Polytopya is a sound, choreographic, and virtual experience. A unique show where technology, dance, and electroacoustic sound take you on a journey to a future that integrates virtual reality and the physical world on stage.
Both tech natives and those who are just beginning to explore this new global reality as adults will find that Polytopia is a world that transcends the artificial and the contrived.

Muriel Romero
She is a dancer and choreographer. Her work focuses on the development of generative choreographic techniques, incorporating abstractions from other disciplines into her language. She has won several international awards, such as the Moscow International Ballet Competition, the Prix de la Fondation de Paris-Prix de Laussane, and the National Dance Award. She has been a principal dancer with prestigious companies including the Deutsche Oper Berlin, Dresden Semper Oper Ballet, Bayerisches Staatsballet Munchen, Gran Théatre de Genéve, and Compañía Nacional de Danza. Throughout her career, she has worked with leading choreographers of our time such as W. Forsythe, J. Kylian, and Saburo Teshigawara.
PABLO PALACIO
His work focuses on the perceptual connections between sound images that emerge in the course of a composition. He has been an artist in residence in Spain, Switzerland, Germany, and Lebanon, and his works have been performed in several countries from Europe and the United States to China, India, and Brazil, and released by the Sub Rosa label in Anthology of Noise and Electronic Music #6. He is a very active composer in the field of performing arts and currently collaborates with the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, designing interactive virtual instruments for people with disabilities. He also participates in conferences, seminars, and workshops at institutions such as the Franz Liszt Hochschule, Missouri State University (USA), Birmingham Conservatoire, Conservatorio Superior María de Ávila, and the Master's Degree in Contemporary Performing Arts and Visual Culture at the UAH.
DANIEL BISIG
He holds a Master's and Doctorate in Natural Sciences from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. He works as a researcher at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at the University of Zurich and at the Institute for Computer Music and Sound Technology at the Zurich University of the Arts. Daniel Bisig is intensely active as an artist in disciplines such as computer animation, experimental video, and 1csoftware art 1d, and has produced numerous interactive works, both installations and in the field of performing arts, creating interactive visual environments that respond in real time. In this regard, he has collaborated on numerous occasions with choreographers such as Jiri Kylian and Pablo Ventura.

CONTEMPORARY DANCE WORKSHOP WITH MURIEL ROMERO
Thursday, April 21, from 7 to 10 p.m.
Dancer and choreographer Muriel Romero will give a masterclass. Choreographic techniques developed in the piece Neural Narratives 2: Polytopya. In this workshop, participants will experiment with movement techniques related to the fragmentation of the body in space and the development of different qualities of movement (fluidity, weight, balance), as well as generative resources and abstractions taken from other disciplines, such as the use of random walks or Brownian motion to generate choreographic structures.

STOCOS INSTITUTE
The Stocos Institute focuses on analyzing and developing the interaction between body language, sound, and visual imagery. The research and work carried out in this field integrates abstractions taken from other disciplines such as artificial intelligence, biology, mathematics, and experimental psychology into a theatrical context.
The Stocos Institute has produced a series of stage works that serve as a form of artistic dissemination of its research: Acusmatrix, Catexis, Stocos, Double Bind, Neural Narratives1: Phantom Limb, and Neural Narratives2: Polytopya, which have been widely presented at numerous national and international competitions and theaters.
Likewise, the theoretical body of work generated during this process has been and continues to be the subject of publications and workshops at various universities and conservatories.
The Stocos Institute organizes and produces other activities related to these areas. It is a partner in several European projects such as Metabody, WholoDance, and DANCE, producing and working on the development of various activities in collaboration with international partners such as the University of Genoa, TU Delft, Trans Media Academie Hellerau (Dresden), University of Brunel (London), University of Coventry, Politecnico di Milano, and New York Institute of Technology (NYIT), among others. Since 2010, it has been collaborating on the development of Motion Composer, a technology aimed at interaction between body and sound for people with disabilities, supported by the ONCE foundation.
