Kentauri2050 is a visual-kinesthetic concert inspired by the rapid development of health technology, Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Philip K Dick’s dystopian sci-fi.

Can we influence the future and be active players in the development of technology? How? Sensor technology and algorithms cut through the entire society and all aspects of life. The services and products of the future will be built even more strongly on top of algorithms and produce more personal and personalized services. Still, only a few understand what it is all about, or think that they could be influencing how technology works.

Kentauri2050 is a prototype of the future. The presentation’s script is a custom-made future table. Kentauri2050 invites the audience to influence the sound and visual world of the work and thus the future.
