Concept & Philosophy

Why reinterpret Metropolis in 2026?

Metropolis is not just a historical film. It is a blueprint of modern society—class division, technology, and control. Reinterpreting it today is not nostalgia, but analysis through sound and image.

Why techno music?

Techno is architectural and mechanical. Its repetition mirrors industrial systems and human labor.

Is this a film, concert, or artwork?

It exists between formats. A hybrid audiovisual system where cinema and performance are redefined.
