The audience encounters the premises of an institute called Terminal Infinity situated in the near future. It combines characteristics of a temple-like structure and a scientific lab. This institute offers a service of body donation, in which humans can offer their body after death to be used in a digitised embodiment procedure. Donating the body to another entity is the perfect and complete sacrifice. The body is not a storage unit – but a processor device.

Staged as a techno-spiritual pilgrimage, musicians, dancers and audience share a space of contemplation and transformation. The chapters of the staged performance go through symbolic steps of birth, being in the world, extended embodiment and death. It creates a fast-forward replica of what it means to be thrown into the world as an organic embodied lifeform – going from learning to use a body, through engaging into the existential and excessive nature of it and finally parting together with it from life.

Part experiment, part lament, part ritual, Terminal Infinity has been commissioned by Berliner Philharmoniker and Dance On Ensemble as part of its 2025 biennale Paradise Lost – The Threat of Nature.
