Digital Arts Spectacular at Beyond Gravity Festival 2025, Featuring Dance and Live Performances in the Depot Theatre
The Beyond Gravity Festival, a biennial event focused on digital arts, dance, and performance, returns in 2025 with a new theme: "Decolonizing the Digital". This unique festival, taking place from October 1 to 5, will be held at Theater im Depot in Dortmund, Germany.
Each curator or collective involved in the festival boasts regional expertise in West Africa, South and Central America, West Asia, and the Ruhr region. The festival aims to create platforms for transcultural collaboration, critical reflection, and artistic-technological visions of the future.
The festival's curated program will feature guest performances and premieres, with a focus on the use of artificial intelligence in artistic processes and hybrid performance situations. Notable artists in the lineup include Kiran Kumār, Norbert Pape, Simon Speiser, Die Ruhrgebieterinnen, Laura Waltz, MIRA - Julia Riera, and more.
In addition to the main festival, the Beyond Gravity Reflections will serve as a discourse space, exploring intersections between technological development and decolonial narratives. This space will host scientific lectures, artistically-research-driven presentations, and discussions.
The festival has an existing collaboration with the Academy for Theater and Digitality and a new partnership with Kulturforum Witten. It's worth noting that while the "Beyond Gravity Festival 2025: Decolonizing the Digital" event does not appear explicitly in the available 2025 search results, related information about gravity-themed and culturally diverse performing arts festivals and artists can provide some relevant context.
