In a world of polished steel and artificial lights, where the sky hums with the soft glow of circuitry, a lone human wanders into a garden unlike any other. There she discovers a friend, herself, and the truth.
Apprivoisé is a multi-disciplinary ballet performance inspired by chapters from the classic story The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The piece blends modern technologies with traditional art forms to to depict the journey of a young person navigating an ever-evolving world where emerging AI and robotic technologies are transforming society.
Visually inspired by the original manuscripts by Saint-Exupéry, Apprivoisé features original artwork by visual artist Ken Daniels. Gigi Schadrack, a former professional ballerina and Princeton University graduate who specialized in Science & Tech policy, uses dance to tell the story of Apprivoisé with a unique four-legged dance partner. The performance is set to original music by composer and musician Noah Altshuler. Each artist employs cutting-edge technologies to bring their respective crafts to the stage, creating an unforgettable and thought-provoking experience.
Apprivoisé is produced in collaboration with Princeton First Law Robotics, Iustitia Fine Arts, and is currently seeking support from other esteemed patrons of science and the arts.
