The play is set in a near future in which androids have become a natural part of society. They live among humans as life partners, domestic servants, entertainers, and economic experts – and begin to assume key positions in politics and business. Some even develop deep emotional bonds with humans.

ANDROID CITY
Through constant interaction with the androids, humans change, becoming human-machines, as it were – while the androids, in turn, increasingly develop human traits and complex personalities.
A radical activist group, FRAM (Fight Robots Activists Movement), opposes this development. With growing aggression, they fight against the spread of the androids.
An enigmatic monk observes the events – but perhaps he, too, is an android.
The play raises key questions:
• Can androids feel true emotions and empathy?
• Is the current power relationship between humans and machines sustainable? • How are humans changing through constant interaction with machines?
“ANDROID CITY” is an immersive theater experience featuring live performance, video animations, and music inspired by the works of Isaac Asimov and Stanisław Lem.
