The title "DRONE" is written at the top in capital letters made of white screws. In the centre of the picture are the words multimedia, crime and story. The performer Gladstone Mahib, a mixed race person with short black hair, round glasses and wearing a grey jacket, is looking at the camera. Over them are a series of words resembling computer code, broken in a shape that follows their silhouette.

Will machines take revenge on us? Dmitry Melkin, writer / director unites storytelling, dance and neural network-driven visuals into a single, evolving score. Performed by rising star Gladstone Mahib, the piece follows a machine striving to rediscover the human image, offering a speculative yet incisive vision of the future.

Language becomes soundscape, blending meaning, glitches, hypertext and layered quotations. Voices from Waters, Land, Catullus, Pushkin, Tennessee Williams, Philip Dick, Benjamin, Japanese poetry, ancient philosophy, the Bob and Alice bot dialogue, and the AlphaZero-Stockfish "immortal zugzwang", shape a contemporary cyberpunk lexicon.
