What does a 50-year-old body need to dance with the urgency and precision of a 20-year-old?
After a decade of making robots dance and interrogating choreography through the lens of technology, Ugo Dehaes now turns the experiment inward.

In this new creation, he directly applies his robotic systems to his own aging body, merging human vulnerability with mechanical enhancement: an exoskeleton to support and strengthen the back. Pulleys to extend range and flexibility. Motors to amplify speed and power. Sensors and feedback systems to recalibrate touch and proprioception.

This is not a metaphor. It is a radical, intimate investigation: a body confronting its own limits, reclaiming virtuosity through technology, and questioning where the dancer ends and the machine begins.
