【2022 Weiwuying New Year & Lantern Festival Series】HUANG YI STUDIO + Little Ant & Robot: A Nomad Café
HUANG Yi has dazzled audiences around the world with his ground-breaking work, HUANG Yi & KUKA, in which he and his dancers per-form alongside an industrial robot he programmed. In Little Ant and Robot, HUANG and his robotic friends will team up to run a cafe, unveiling a harmonious new world shared by man and robot.
In 2012, HUANG Yi & KUKA danced together for the first time. They toured 32 cities in 17 countries, and staged a total of 78 performances.
In 2021, HUANG Yi opened a café with KUKA on stage, intertwining art, technology and daily life. Performers dance with food and drinks on stage and pour music into cups, blending technology into an invisible presence.
With the air filled with the sweet smell of memories from our childhood, we share and cherish the beautiful moments that are present. At this café, we bake our way back into the kids we used to be, holding and embracing one another with a dose of imagination of the future.
Feel free to invite friends who fear that they "don't understand art". This is a café where families enjoy quality time together in the afternoon, and where adults relax and rejuvenate in the evening.
Little Ant & Robot: A Nomad Café extends a warm invitation to you.

Artists Introduction
HUANG Yi
Taiwanese dancer, choreographer, inventor, and videographer HUANG Yi's pioneering work is steeped in his fascination with the partnership between humans and robots. He interweaves continuous movement with mechanical and multimedia elements to create a form of dance which corresponds with the flow of data, effectively making the performer a dancing instrument. Named by Dance Magazine as one of the "25 to Watch," HUANG was immersed in the arts at a young age, spending much of his childhood in his parents' studio watching them teach tango and learning to paint alongside his father. HUANG has been Artist-in-Residence of the National Theater & Concert Hall, the National Performing Arts Center, Taiwan, and is widely considered one of Asia's most prolific choreographers.
HUANG's groundbreaking and award-winning work, HUANG YI & KUKA, in which he and his dancers perform alongside an industrial robot he programmed, has opened the Ars Electronica Festival (Austria), TED Conference (Vancouver), and toured globally since 2015 including in Australia, the Americas, Europe, Asia, and the UAE.
HUANG Yi premiered Under the Horizon, a hybrid opera, in collaboration with Berlin-based Ryoichi Kurokawa and the Netherlands Chamber Choir, in Holland and Taiwan in 2018. In February 2019 he premiered A Million Miles Away at Taiwan's celebrated National Theater. His newest work, Little Ant & Robot: A Nomad Café, is slated to premiere at the National Theater in April 2021.
Team Introduction
HUANG YI STUDIO +
Founded in 2010, HUANG YI STUDIO + is a pioneer in boundary-breaking dance performance with cutting-edge technology, taking pride in being a "laboratory" that creates new possibilities for imaging what performing arts could be, while bringing human warmth and touch to technology through incorporating technology into art. The studio has toured nearly 20 countries across the world, and received widespread attention in Europe's theater circles when it was selected by the Théâtre National de Chaillot for the theater's first artist-in-residence project.
