World class magic and an extraordinary mechanical ensemble, including a state-of-the-art mechatronic dog straight out of Black Mirror. Bob - an advanced AI research social robot, and an eccentric cast of custom-built automatons. Together they push the boundaries of both magic and technology. Watch in amazement as thoughts become surreal landscapes, the First Law of Thermodynamics takes a nap, and robots wonder how much you have to think to therefore be.
“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” - Arthur C Clarke
Following three consecutive shows that all won awards at both Fringe World and Adelaide Fringe, Caper has created this revolutionary production. The future is already here – it’s just not evenly distributed. What happens when mechatronic hearts start beating, and the line between artificial and authentic blurs?
The Future has just returned from 23 shows at the Edinburgh Fringe and is lining up for shows in Denmark, Sweden, Australia and Germany.
