About: Human Loops is an international dance project that transcends the boundaries of age and dance training, inviting participants from diverse backgrounds and cultures to collaboratively craft a meaningful exploration of the universal rhythms that shape our existence: the cycles of life. Participants play a significant role in shaping the choreographic sequences, creating a genuinely collaborative artistic expression. The audience, in turn, is invited to navigate the performance space freely. This empowers the audience to become an integral part of the artistic process, free to move between scenes as the performance unfolds.

In its inaugural performance in August 2012, Human Loops brought together approximately 70 singers and dancers from Barcelona and Berlin in front of a captivated audience of over 1,500 people at Rotes Rathaus (town hall of Berlin).

The second edition of Human Loops unfolded in July 2013 in Spain. Over two days, over 1,000 spectators immersed themselves in the performance of over 120 dancers within the enchanting ambiance of the ancient hospital of Sant Feliu de Guíxols.

The third edition of Human Loops took place at the esteemed German Hygiene Museum in Dresden. During the museum's summer night event in July 2014, the performance was an integral part of the dance exhibition, adding a distinct layer to the viewer's experience.

Through the next two years, Human Loops also reached audiences in Italy and Greece with its inclusive approach, encouraging audiences and participants alike to explore the profound interplay of life's cycles through the universal language of dance.
