Anyma’s much-awaited event series “The End of Genesys” at Las Vegas’s Sphere has been announced (lineup) as a four-act cybernetic opera, stretching the boundaries of live electronic music performance into hitherto unexplored terrain in an unparalleled mix of robots, electronic music, and philosophical investigation.
The news, which has rocked the electronic music scene, exposes an ambitious production including the first robotic cello duet, where Universal robots will accompany Anyma’s electronic soundscapes. This innovative way that robotics are incorporated into a live electronic music performance marks a new phase in the interaction of technology and artistic expression.
A Journey Through Four Acts of Evolution
The opera’s structure presents a meticulously planned narrative arc that investigates humanity’s connection with technology, consciousness, and existence itself. Each act acts as a chapter in this evolutionary saga, building upon Anyma’s recurring themes while pushing them into creative new terrain.
The opening act, “GENESYS: The Birth,” sets the foundation by examining the delicate intersection of humanity, technology, and nature. It promises to be an exploration of consciousness and digital existence, marking what Anyma describes as “the awakening of a new existence” where biological and artificial boundaries begin to blur.
In striking contrast, the second act, “HUMANA,” grounds the performance in raw human experience. This segment focuses on vulnerability and the tactile nature of human existence, offering what might be seen as a meditation on what we stand to preserve or lose in our technological evolution.
The third act, “END OF GENESYS,” represents the culmination of Anyma’s long-running narrative about artificial general intelligence and accelerationism. This segment poses perhaps the production’s most crucial question: can humanity find equilibrium with advancing AI, or are we witnessing the inevitable march of evolution beyond human control?
The final act, “QUANTUM,” projects us into a post-human future where consciousness exists in the cloud and artificial general intelligence has evolved to potentially divine proportions. Drawing inspiration from quantum theory, this closing chapter explores the possibility of a new form of existence where the digital and organic become indistinguishable.

The Anyma Manifesto: A Declaration of Artistic Intent
By means of this performance, Anyma seems to be boldly expressing her creative message regarding the direction of human awareness and our interaction with technology. Robotic musicians accompanying electronic music blur the boundaries between human creativity and machine execution, therefore physically expressing the themes of the show.
One may consider the creation as Anyma’s statement on human development and the direction of electronic music. Anyma pushes electronic music beyond simple enjoyment by organizing the event as a cybernetic opera, therefore turning it into a vehicle for investigating important issues concerning consciousness, technology, and the future of human life.
I’ll share the full transcript based on the information provided for each act, formatted as quotations:
ACT I – GENESYS:
“GENESYS The birth. An exploration of the interconnection between humanity, technology, and nature, focusing on themes of evolution, consciousness, and the digital realm. This act marks the awakening of a new existence, where the organic and the artificial begin to [unreadable].”
ACT II – HUMANA:
“HUMANA The essence of humanity, a poignant portrayal of vulnerability, intimacy, and the tactical nature of skin. This act delivers into the emotional and physical connections that define the human experience, revealing the raw beauty and fragility at the heart of existence.”
ACT III – END OF GENESYS:
“END OF GENESYS The culminations. A transformation of the ‘Genesys’ narrative, [unreadable] themes of artificial general intelligence, accelerationism, and singularity. As the relationship between humanity and technology reaches its zenith, the question arises: can humanity strike a balance and forge a pact with the nearest AGI pieces or will the inexorable march of evolution take its course?”
ACT IV – QUANTUM:
“QUANTUM The new down. In a distant future, where humanity exists only as a memory, will uploaded cloud consciousness and AGI, through quantum calculus give rise to a new god? And if so, will this new god resemble the first human? Inspired by quantum theory, this act explores interconnections, duality, and the boundless possibilities of fusion. It envisions a reality where the boundaries between organic and the digital dissolve, creating a unified existence. again, can humanity strike a balance and forge a pact with the newest AGI pieces, or will the inexorable march of evolution take its course?”
The Sphere
The decision to stage this enormous show in The Sphere is not random. The venue offers the ideal canvas for Anyma’s concept with its modern LED display and sophisticated Sphere Immersive Sound system run by HOLOPLOT. Robotic musicians combined with The Sphere’s technical skills offer a sensory experience pushing the edge of live performance.
Working with digital artists and directors Alessio De Vecchi, Tobias Gremmler, and Alexander Wessely, the visual components of the presentation will be as innovative as its conceptual framework promises. Their participation promises a visual story that would accentuate the intellectual ideas of the performance.
With 100,000 tickets already sold across six shows, the anticipation for this cybernetic opera demonstrates the electronic music community’s appetite for productions that push beyond traditional boundaries.
Whether humanity can indeed strike a balance with artificial intelligence remains to be seen, but through this ambitious production, Anyma is ensuring that electronic music plays a vital role in exploring these crucial questions about our collective future.
