Founded by choreographers Heine Røsdal Avdal and Yukiko Shinozaki alongside media artist Christoph De Boeck, Belgian company deepblue take their name from the supercomputer that famously defeated a human in a game of chess in the late 1990s. The company's work often considers how to balance human and technological forms of communication, and You Are Here is no exception.

A hybrid piece of dance and art installation You Are Here presents the theatre space as a vast archive of possibilities and ideas. The stage is covered with hundreds of white pages, perfectly aligned in a tight grid, through which the two performers carefully clear a labyrinthine pathway – objects and technology play an active, almost human role as information is stored, ordered, retrieved and passed on.

Within this structured environment the roles of audience and performer are constantly adjusted, responding to the codes and systems of the space as the archive’s secrets are revealed.
