SPIEGELNEURONEN is the first collaboration between Sasha Waltz & Guests and director Stefan Kaegi (Rimini Protokoll) – and at the same time a large-scale experiment about the human brain and its relationship to the body. On stage stands a huge mirror in which the audience watches themselves as if in a gigantic selfie. Slowly, the audience begins to move together with the dancers. The result is a collective moving image – a metaphor for the human brain and the relationship between the individual and the community. The documentary research draws on perspectives from brain research, biology, sociology, and artificial intelligence, which the audience hears and experiences in a sound collage.

The soundtrack for the piece was provided by Basel-based musician, performer, and sound designer Tobias Koch.
