The Description
RUR according to Buchet and puppets, the performance based on the famous play by Karel Čapek was created in cooperation with the Czech Center of the International PEN Club on the occasion of the robot's centenary. And a robot is a machine.
Robots, puppets. It machines cater to music, it puppets entertain. The machines provide excitement. Aren't we becoming puppets? Aren't emotions a nuisance? Isn't love a nuisance? Humans are degenerating, the world is infested with robots. Salvation is in love, but isn't love a nuisance? Where is the soul? Where is the ghost? And we're looking for robots.
