Concert
I am not a Robot II (webdiffusion)
An experimental tragicomic technoperaballet
Past event
I am not a Robot II playfully questions the boundary between human and machine.
In a unique collaboration between Quasar and Jérôme Minière, I am not a Robot II explores the vagaries of artistic digitization, the robotization of humans and the humanization of machines. Presented in an innovative hybrid form combining music and narration, I am not a Robot II also features the creativity of plastic artist Marie-Pierre Normand and the inventiveness of Jean-François Laporte, designer of original instruments. Explore an operating system that is too much machine and too much human at the same time and then try to find the boundary between the robots and us.
In partnership with Production Totem Contemporain and Les Escales Improbables de Montréal.
