R. U. Human

Merging theatre with online adventure game, R. U. Human? invites audience to immerse themselves in a space where the virtual meets the real, while reflecting on subjects related to humanity and technology. The interactive performance, which takes place on online conferencing platform Gather.town, is based on classic sci-fi play R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots) by Czech playwright Karel Čapek. As part of the work, the real-time data collected during the performance will undergo sonification to accompany a live performance video.

In face of robot rebellion, the audience acts as the factory’s key decision maker. They interact with the characters and objects in the form of a virtual avatar to advance the story and usher in different endings. At the end, the participants return to Karel Čapek’s reality to explore issues and ideas in the play from the playwright’s perspective.
