Trigram: A Robotic Opera

Trigram is a performance of computer controlled robotic musical sculptures;
newly invented instruments modeled after the inner forms of the human
body. A group of musicians, singers and dancers interact with the sculptures
and musical props to create a sequence of actions that unfold within a musical
structure.
