Huang Yi & KUKA at Brisbane Powerhouse Arts, Powerhouse Theatre

See the line between humanity and robots blur as award-winning dancer, choreographer and inventor Huang Yi transfers his human qualities to his robot, KUKA.

As a child, Huang Yi longed for a robot companion. As an adult, he was drawn to the fluid, almost humanlike, design of the KUKA robots and eventually he was gifted one to dance with.

For every minute of KUKA’s movement, Huang Yi spent ten hours programming it.

You’ll marvel as this poetic work flawlessly intertwines the art of dance, the science of mechanical engineering and the realm of robotics.
