“How far can humans and machines truly merge?

A one-of-a-kind android opera exploring the boundary between life and death.”

An innovative opera in which an AI-powered android sings, blending live orchestra, piano, electronic music, visual art, and Shōmyō—Buddhist chanting with over 1,200 years of history.

The work dissolves boundaries and oppositions such as human and technology, East and West, tradition and innovation, life and death, presenting a new model of hope and harmony.
