A creation story for the end of time.
In 1920, Karel Čapek imagined a world of A.I. and rebellion and gave us the word “robot”. Headlong reawakens his visionary play R.U.R. as ROBOTA – high-voltage theatre for the age of artificial intelligence.
In a distant tomorrow, the Rossum Corporation has done the impossible: created machines indistinguishable from humans. Built to serve. Programmed to obey.
But when these perfect workers begin to dream of freedom, the system starts to glitch. As the line between human and machine blurs, can humanity survive the revolution it set in motion?
Blending origin story with sci-fi, myth with machine, this is a bold, unsettling look at what it means to create life – and what happens when it turns on its maker.
ROBOTA collides theatre, Sci-Fi, and philosophy in a charged exploration of power and progress.
Bold and original storytelling
