METAXIS is a multimedia dance installation by Argentinian choreographer Marcelo Doño that explores bodies in a state of digital fusion. In METAXIS, he explores the nostalgia of the virtual age and seeks a physical expression of the metamodern concept of the in-between, also known as "metaxis". Oscillating between modern enthusiasm and postmodern irony, hope and melancholy, totality and fragmentation, METAXIS transforms the stage into a digital-immersive arena where the audience can experience the fusion of digital beings, space and performers. Blurring the boundaries between bodies, reality and fantasy, METAXIS explores themes of identity and authenticity in the age of endless content, inviting audiences to reflect on their assumptions and perceptions about the complexity of the present.

Parts of pink-lit bodies, arms, hands and backs of heads can be seen against a dark background. The people appear to be leaning forwards, it is not possible to identify which body part belongs to which body.

Two people are kneeling together on their shins in pink light with their hands on their knees. The person in front is facing to the left, the person behind is facing the camera, but is only illuminated from above so that the face is not recognisable.
