Omniscient Creed
Ah-Yili Setareh, Cylo Berg, Hugo Chang Coffey and Klara Lopez
Residency and work sharing at HAUT Scene,
Copenhagen, May 2026
Performance duration: 20 min
Soundscape by Cylo Berg
For this residency Hugo Chang Coffey has invited collaborators Ah-Yili Setareh, Cylo Berg and Klara Lopez
to focus on the bodily sensations of our current surveillance society; of constantly being subjected to “an all-seeing entity”, of imitation, pattern recognition, and movement prediction.
Drawing on a character, Yeongno, found in traditional Korean masked dance performance tongyeong ogwangdae, the group will explore concepts embedded in this contemporary moment. Compelled by the satirical and dramatic elements of this “Eat the rich”-story, Chang Coffey asked what would happen if a character like Yeongno was placed in a context where both earth and heaven was being colonised by tech giants.
During this residency the group will explore how myths and storytelling can be re-envisioned through the current technocapitalist landscape.
