When robots take over
In their first collaboration, Hijinx Theatre (Cardiff, Wales) and tanzbar_bremen present ‘ENTER: Robots exchange’, a participatory and inclusive theatre piece that playfully explores the topics of AI and robots.
During one performance as part of the city festival ‘Alles muss raus!’ in Kaiserslautern (July 2024) and the BoulevART Festival in Wismar (August 2024), visitors become part of the piece and can control the robots - until they take over. The large-scale street theatre performance enables interactions between the citizens and the ‘robots’ through non-verbal communication.
"The Cultural Bridge funding will allow us to bring together learning disabled and neurodivergent artists from Wales and Germany to work together in the creation and presentation of a large-scale street theatre performance: ROBOTS. The project will facilitate a unique opportunity for exchange between our artists and organisations as they collaborate on the dramaturgy and choreography before performing together at two street theatre festivals in Germany. For some of the learning disabled and neurodivergent artists involved, this will be their first time travelling internationally, a vital opportunity for progression in both their professional aspirations and towards more independent lives."
