Ugo Dehaes

Choreographer Ugo Dehaes was known for his austere and radical -yet accessible- performances focused on the power of dance and dancers. Since Simple Machines (2021), however, his focus has shifted to researching our societal quest for efficiency and optimisation by thoughtfully replacing actors and choreographers with robots, technology and artificial intelligence. This allows him to share his love and fascination for humans, the human body and movement not only with theatre and dance audiences but also with lovers of object theatre, scholars, scientists and computer programmers alike. 

Ugo’s robots are conquering the world by performing at exciting and atypical settings such as conferences on electronics and gatherings on media art, both in Belgium and abroad: Austria, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Portugal, Italy, Germany, Scotland, Canada and Finland have already been discovered, but they remain hungry for more. 

In the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 seasons Simple Machines will be reprised. His new piece Moving Skin premieres Spring 2025 at Krokusfestival Hasselt (B).
