Roboverse

Autonomous drone kills human beings. No human in the loop.

Roboverse explores the underbelly of technology, the robot from within. What does the world feel like from a robot’s perspective? A dancer, a drone and different robots share the stage — their sensors turning movement into sound and music. Human and machine mirror and challenge each other, from target to companion.

Together with scientists, technologists and artists (Utrecht University/Dramaturgy for Devices, ICK), we work toward an alternative future with technology. There may be other ways of looking at the other.

Technology inherits our intentions. Let’s give it better ones.

Roboverse premieres in February 2027. Follow our making process via our socials.

Made in partnership with ICK Dans Amsterdam and the Dramaturgy for Devices consortium
