Deep Blue

Music theater piece Deep Blue sketches an absurd picture of the future where technology and people merge. This balance will be restored in a musical ritual. Prepare yourself for a confrontation with the technological human in it’s most primitive appearance. A human-machine dancing on a mix of digital and acoustic music, getting in touch with the primal energy that lies within each of us.

When & where?

In 2018, Deep Blue could be seen in Mare Culturale Urbano (Milan) and during Hoogte80, Karavaan, Over het IJ and Heimland Festival. Deep Blue was also shown during Museumnacht Amsterdam in Eye Filmmuseum, november 2018.

Deep Blue in the media:

“The ability of Project Wildeman to throw all different live sounds together and to make it sound like a whole is impressive. [It is] […] a funny play: the crowd laughed out loud several times […]. In the beginning, I didn’t know where I was and what I should think about it. […] But this seems […] to be the charm of Deep Blue: the absurd.”

“[De Wildemannen] are […] sound artists. […] On the one hand Deep Blue cultivates [...] a contrast between testosterone theatre and nerd crafting, on the other hand, their way of text stacking also has the necessary of a runaway computer without the electronics.”

“The music they […] produce – one moment crisping as styrofoam, the other melancholic echoing and then again energetic pumping – is the most impressive about this performance. Everything is sampled and played live and many pieces are originated by improvisation.”
