Imagine you are living in 2125. The world is populated with humans and metahumans. There are magrails, neuropads, pods and people on the moon.
Imagine your parents are suddenly gone. You are on your own. Breathing is harder. People who disappear take a piece of breath with them.
Imagine: you are taken in by your uncle. He is the boss of the biggest producer of metahumans. But you don't know who he is.
And then you fall in love. Just as suddenly. A feeling far too big that doesn't fit into your young body. Confusing too: because how human is the subject of your love?
Life soon turns out to be too full of people who are suddenly no longer there and others who are there too suddenly.
Is there a way out?
Is there new breathing space somewhere?
In the immersive sci-fi love thriller 'Code ♥', you see real and virtual actors on stage. 'Code ♥' shows a musical and visual imagination of the future using the latest AI software.
RESEARCH PROJECT
Alongside the creation of the performance, we are holding a research trajectory on the future of humanity together with Ghent-based maker community Nerdlab. Everyone is welcome to participate in this trajectory. You can find more info on the Nerdlab website.

Together with Willem De Schryver and Armin Mola, Alia created ‘Primo Volo’. She also played in ‘Baked Beans’ (by Febe Coysman and Lena Majri/Monty) and ‘Vulcanize Me’ by Audrey Apers, among others. Spring 2026, Alia can be seen in Audrey's new show ‘Under Your Spell’.
