"Stromajer and Zorman were operating remote-controlled toy-
ballet-robots, MC Brane was conducting a wireless MP3 
orchestra!"

After invading the Bolsh.oi Theatre in Moscow (March 2002), 
Stromajer and Zorman performed a new guerrilla ballet invasion --
 on November 13th 2004, this time of another famous theatre 
(ballet and opera) house in Europe - Teatro alla S.cala, Milan, 
Italy.

They have entered the kitchen of the Teatro alla S.cala, where 
bio-food for artists is prepared. The kitchen of the Teatro alla 
S.cala is an excellent example of a modern cooking laboratory 
for healthy food. It is automatized and meets the highest 
hygienic standards. The artists used two remote-controlled toy-
robots with two wireless web cameras. Robots and cameras 
(algorithm of the ballet choreography and MP3 orchestra) were 
remotely controlled from a mini-van parked at the north-east 
side of the Piazza della S.cala in front of the Teatro alla 
S.cala.

This time, Stromajer and Zorman (as ballet dancer and musician) 
were replaced by robots, lonely and sad icons, automatized 
units, which had no major problem to invade the kitchen of the 
Teatro alla S.cala and danced the net-ballet there.

Artists used hi-tech mobile and wireless equipment for the 
invasion and live broadcasting. Two local GSM mobile phone 
operators (TIM - Telecom Italia Mobile GSM 900/1800 and MOBITEL -
 SI GSM) were used for GPRS mobile internet connection.

Teatro alla S.cala is temporarily closed for the public due to 
restoration works, therefore all the performances are taking 
place at the Teatro degli A.rcimboldi. Today, November 13th 2004 
at 8pm, La S.cala ballet ensemble performed The Swan Lake by 
Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky (choreography by Vladimir Bourmeister) 
on the main stage of the Teatro degli A.rcimboldi in Milan.

Note: Teatro alla S.cala did not voluntarily co-operate in the 
project, but was selected based on the conceptual strategy of 
the project. The management of the Teatro alla S.cala is not a 
co-producer of this project and did not co-operate in the 
process of its realization.

Project supported by The Ministry of Culture of the Republic of
