Artificial By Nature is a moving philosophical opera performance. Annelinde Bruijs (artist, actor and composer) and Yannick Noomen (artist and actor) take on the role of two humanoid robots. In an hour-long electronic composition, they speculate, with a good dose of humor and philosophy, about being human in the present times. In Artificial By Nature, human life is sung about by two robots nevertheless! Nineties sees a certain 'Sisyphical' irony in our artificial attempts to define our nature and makes a musical ode to the struggling human being, always trying to become something—itself in the best case. In this performance, the two robots literally give shape to the world around them, raking patterns in the sand while trying to answer the nature of humankind, which forms the libretto of this elementary philosophical opera.
