FAMULUS 4.0 | Iron Skulls (ES)

Famulus 4.0 merges theatre, dance, robotics, and AI in an autofiction designed for public spaces. It explores the future of communication and relationships in a tech-driven world.Etymologically, “Famulus” comes from Latin, meaning servant or slave in Ancient Rome. The addition of “4.0” connects the historical concept of servitude to contemporary technological advancements.

Iron Skulls use public spaces to create immersive experiences, focusing on outdoor nighttime performances and unconventional settings. The company adapts the performance for various environments, including daytime and nighttime outdoor spaces, indoor theatres, and other unique locations, with an emphasis on artistic and emotional immersion.
