FAMULUS 4.0

Dance performance. Recommended for all ages.

Prairie measuring 6 by 6 meters — limited and infinite at the same time. Four people and a robot dog. A dialogue between the human and the artificial. Self-fiction told by movement. A show exploring the fragility of social relationships in an age of hyperconnectivity and automation. “Famulus 4.0” creates a physical-emotional universe in which reality and the digital world intersect without any boundaries. The title refers to the Latin word famulus (servant) and the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The show is part of the current reflection on artificial intelligence, the role of technology and the need for proximity in digital reality. The performance, prepared for outdoor spaces, traditional stages and places that escape theatrical conventions, uses the language of theatrical breaking. Iron Skulls Co. creates a show where poetic movement meets mechanical rhythm and sound.

It is a show that, instead of giving ready-made answers, asks questions about the impact of technology on the future — a future that has already become the present.

“Famulus 4.0” is more than a spectacle. It's a mirror. A poetic warning against blurring the boundaries between body and code, between living feeling and pure function. Thomas Myrvang, Odd Inge Teige, “Nordmørsposten”

On the technical side, “Famulus 4.0” turns out to be a fascinating experiment. The question of artificial intelligence capable of feeling emotions is highly topical, and the Iron Skulls formation approaches it with a grain of salt. Claudia Ihlefeld, Heilbronner Voice

International presentations of the show are supported by the Ramon Llull Institute.
