A man and a robot. Human being and machine.
The story behind RoboPole is as short as it is epical. A man, who looks like he could be the engineer, and a robot try to experiment… Hesitant at first, but more and more playfully they venture to new heights.
RoboPole is a powerful visual show. The discipline of the Chinese Pole itself is fascinating, but in RoboPole it culminates in a totally new perspective… The robot comes to life and lifts the artist–literally–to a new level.
