Machines that resemble humans scramble along the lines of light that are reduced to shadows. The rugged, clunky movement of the deformed onearmed robot out of symmetry raises the illusion of ‘human familiarity’ to us through the process of overlapping, distorting and composing shadows. Robots that operate as automated stage equipment and characters evoke an unstable future, such as the restraint of a machine not far from the future, but in reality they are constrained machines in human control. Designed with the memory of colleagues in the 90s club scene and the alienated people in the streets, these robots dance and sing to each other in limited gestures. Developed with five members of the creative team, this play explores the possibilities of a new genre of robotic mechanical theater.
