CYVASA 2.0

CYVASA 2.0 is an experimental dance work by Indonesian and diaspora dance artists Juliet Widyasari Burnett and Ishvara Devati, with a music score by Indonesian feminist noise duo Metatesis.

In the world of CYVASA 2.0, ancient Javanese spirituality merges with techno-fantasy aesthetics and glitch distortion. The trans and cis female bodies are dynamic, sacred entities from this speculative future, untethered from patriarchal history. Here, desire is a driving force that transforms the body’s architecture - a pulsating, liquid machine that is continuously upgrading, reprogrammed and reincarnated.

This is not a stage, but a temple, laboratory and server room, where new digital deities are born.
