What a fuss!

Robots among themselves...

29 October 2021

Some time ago, Futurium invited ordinary citizens to help with the development of the robot theatre. In the first workshop, a theatre dramaturg and a puppeteer teamed up with the participants to come up with suggestions for what such a theatrical robot might look like: cuddly, perhaps? Or with tentacles? Or even like a flying car? In a second writing workshop, initial ideas for the robots’ dialogue were developed.

Update!

These ideas have recently been updated. Our exhibition team was wondering about the sort of issues that might be gnawing away at the robots and discovered: some are marvelling at humans, others are in the middle of an existential crisis, and then there are those with big plans for a career in space – so nothing out of the ordinary there!

See in three episodes what makes Robo, Fluffy and AI tick:

Episode One: The broken-down human being?!
