An international group of artists from the Art and Technology program at Chalmers University really set the stage with an introduction to The Robotic Puppet Show.... a stage filled with robot characters and real feelings...the boxes opened, the noises started, the show had begun...
Artists
Valerie Bugmman (Colombia/Switzerland)

Dylan Chan (Canada/China)
Lorena Monsalve 'Tank' (Colombia/Venezuela)
Blanca RodrÃguez (Mexico)
Movements of invisible parts of their four bodies off and on and loses control of fifty-one tongues at the same time.
The Robotic Puppet Show is a work-in-progress merging theatre, performance, electronics, sculpture, and ready-made art objects. The robots and stage set are created combining new materials with junk electronic components and are accompanied by emotive electronic music, mixing both old and new technologies. As actors, puppet masters and technicians, the players perform multiple roles simultaneously, thus redefining the performer-audience paradigm. Merging traditional performance practice with a contemporary multi-disciplinary approach, the piece represents an exciting synthesis of art and technology.
Thanks guys for a terrific { i n s p i r a t i o n a l } performance!
