Overview

Treating body, voice, stage objects, and instruments as one mutable system.

Mutant;Faith was an immersive performance series in which Arca moved across music, performance, costume, and sculptural stage elements. The Shed program and the daito.ws archive record it as a four-night series presented from September 25 to 28, 2019.

Daito Manabe / Rhizomatiks' role was not simply to add technology to a stage environment, but to connect body movement, sensors, custom instruments, and analog synthesizers as live expressive material.
