Codeborn
ZARA ALI
In “Codeborn” the world is subjected to an artificial intelligence. An unstoppable process of transformation begins that eludes any explanation whilst at the same time evoking fascination and uncertainty. Visions of power escalate into infinity, old hierarchies collapse, and impossible encounters become reality.

Zara Ali's music theatre rejects both doomsday sentiment and cultural pessimism – it is neither utopia nor dystopia. Her music encompasses the entire spectrum of radical change and makes the unimaginable audible.
