Since 2017, there has been a collaboration between Cologne Opera, the Department of Culture and the independent dance scene, which has set itself the task of staging a co-production premiere at Bühnen Köln every two years. This time, the jury chose Brig Huezo, a young non-binary artist.

In a world where humans are no longer made of just flesh and blood, but have mutated into fragmented archives of their own data, The Ghost in the Glitch drags you into a nightmare of corrupted movements and digital rebellion.

The performance shatters the boundary between organic body and machine shell: dancers, connected to a hyper-virtualized world, fight to reclaim their autonomy against a system that seeks to program and control them.

In this cyberpunk-inspired choreography, every movement becomes an act of resistance, every glitch a scream for freedom. When the body breaks, the data bleeds.
