Rossum's Universal Robots - Cutting Ball Theater October 20th - November 12th 2023

Cutting Ball Theater Presents ROSSUM'S UNIVERSAL ROBOTS by Karel Capek translated by Paul Selver directed and adapted by Chris Steele OCT 20 - NOV 12 The Robots have taken over. It's official, we are living in the future and humanity is only a distant memory. Join a cast of four Robots as they perform the last ever Human Play, written just before the great Robot Wars of Emancipation. Much information will be shared, the lost Human art of "humor" will be examined, and together as Robots we will celebrate our vast superiority to man! - Originally debuted in the 1920s, this play is the origin of the word Robot. A melodramatic, apocalyptic, Artificial Intelligence satire stemming from the Marxist rumblings of Eastern Europe in that era, RUR predates even the seminal futurist work Metropolis in its examination of how human hubris and the onslaught of advanced technologies might be the downfall of man. Equal parts funny and prescient, this play in the age of AI Chatbots and Robot Police Dogs rings even more harrowing. For ages 8+ Tickets starting at $15 at cuttingball.com
