R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots): A Play at AS220
R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots): A Play at AS220
July 19, 2024 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
R.U.R. Corporation dreams of a future where no human needs to work and everything is affordable, thanks to the labor of robots. Helena dreams of improving conditions for the robots and treating them like people. What do the robots dream – and can humans survive that dream becoming reality? A century after it debuted the term “robot”, Karel Čapek’s play comes to the stage in a new age of artificial intelligence and questions about what makes us human.
