Stefan Kaegi / Rimini Protokoll (Berlin) & Münchner Kammerspiele
Unheimliches Tal / Uncanny Valley
Language German
Duration 1h
With open discussion on the 15.05.
The external similarity to human beings makes the acceptance of humanoid robots easier. However, if the machine is too similar to a human, we begin to feel mistrust: what is human, what is machine? An animatronic double of the author Thomas Melle takes his place on stage and questions the perfection of the original and its copy.
