‘Egregor’ Debuts an Immersive Tech-Ritual at Capilla Gótica Through Oct. 19

Santiago Cumplido’s dystopian staging blends baroque sonorities with electronic textures to question our reliance on AI.

Overview

  • The run continues at the Capilla Gótica (Centro Cultural Helénico) through October 19 with shows Thursday 8:00 pm, Friday 8:30 pm, and Saturday and Sunday 6:00 and 7:30 pm.
  • Tickets are on sale at the box office and via Ticketmaster, starting at 650 pesos with premium options up to 2,500 pesos tied to a “Cata Oculta” cocktail experience.
  • Immersive ‘cata’ events are scheduled for October 18 and 19 at 9:30 pm in the Aula Magna as part of the top-tier offering.
  • Set a century after 2025, the narrative centers on an entity born from the collective unconscious that has seized control and feeds on human energy.
  • The piece fuses theater, dance and baroque opera with interactive videomapping, laser effects, quadraphonic sound and live baroque/electronic music, featuring AI-generated voices alongside performers including Vangeline and María Andrea Araujo, with outlets differing on the ensemble’s size.
