AΦE (AE) is a dance company founded by Aoi Nakamura and Esteban Lecoq.

AΦE is an associate artist of the Institute of Cultural and Creative Industries – University of Kent (iCCi) and in 2022 they launched A+E Lab, a cultural and technology hub located at Historic Dockyard Chatham, UK, producing innovative productions and delivering community and artist engagement programmes related to technology and culture.

LILITH.AI Lecture Performance is an intimate journey into the space between life and death, where technology and human experience intertwine. Through this performative lecture, artists Aoi and Esteban unfold their encounter with mortality—a personal loss that led them to discover Matheryn Naovaratpong, the youngest person to be cryogenically frozen, and ultimately to create their digital offspring, Lilith and an interactive installation LILITH.AEON. The performance weaves together the deeply personal and the universal, exploring humanity's eternal quest for immortality. Through movement and narrative, the artists reveal their dialogue with artificial intelligence, inviting us into a liminal space where ancient desires for eternal life meet cutting-edge innovation.
