Description
Gabriel Calderón (author and director of Història d’un senglar) presents in Gràcia a philosophically comedy, with actors, robot and a Calderón de la Barca plays in the middle, about the future of humanity , increasingly dehumanised.
In a world dominated by AI, four old renowned actors have become stage technicians because robots have taken their place. But what will happen when one of the machines refuses to go onstage to play its role? What happens when a robot doesn’t want to act?
