Robot-like figures on stage have long symbolised fears of loosing control and identity. Yet real robots in contemporary theatre are also framed as figures of relation, signalling a shift from human-robot competition to co-creation.

Through choreographed movement, robot-like dancers explore emotion, embodiment, and the changing meaning of human life in an age shaped by machines and mechanical reproduction.

“The Last Man” cover art series point at fears of human obsolescence in the ruins of a technologically advanced future, asking what traces of humanity might endure when machines continue on after their creators are gone.

Three animated shorts from the 1920s and 1930s reveal the ambivalent attitudes surrounding automation in a world where the boundaries between nature and machine were becoming increasingly blurred.
