ROBOTA MML is the shooting of a film, a remix of other films and cultural references that leads to an encounter.

The first time the term “robot” was coined was in a science fiction play called R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots) written by Karel Capek in 1920 and premièred in New York in 1922. The word "Robot" was devised by the author's brother from the Czech word “robota”, which means “work”. R.U.R. takes place in a factory where they build robots to free human beings from work. And in Robota MML, Itziar Barrio relocates the characters in this work to a context that is sensitive to class consciousness and biopower. Another reference for ROBOTA MML is the work The Raft of the Medusa, painted by Théodore Géricault in 1819 and Luis Buñuel’s inspiration when he wrote The Exterminating Angel. In his painting, Géricault portrays survivors on a raft adrift in the middle of the ocean. While senior officials were most concerned about saving themselves first, they suffered from dehydration and resorted to cannibalism to survive. “All these references converge with contemporary gestures such as body-building and the use of burning objects in recent music videos,” explains Itziar Barrio. “ROBOTA MML addresses in an interrelated manner such issues as robotics, labour production mechanisms, and the deconstruction of cinematic apparatus. Using bodies, technology and smoke, we will construct a narrative over the course of two weeks in Nave 11, articulated through a process of execution, collaboration and meetings with the agents involved”, the artist sums up.

Itziar Barrio will work with a film crew and different collaborators, including the engineer and doctor in robotics Javier F Gorostiza (DART), screenwriter Sonia Martí and María Jerez as acting and stage director.

During the final days, the process will be opened to the public thereby forming the piece ROBOTA MML.
