SYNOPSIS:
Step into a visionary tale that changed science fiction forever. First performed in 1921, Karel Čapek’s groundbreaking play R.U.R. coined the term “robot” and sparked a century of debate about technology, artificial intelligence, and what it means to be human.
Set in a future where synthetic workers are mass-produced to serve humanity, R.U.R. begins as a utopian dream and spirals into a chilling exploration of progress, ethics, and rebellion. With sharp wit, provocative ideas, and eerie relevance to today’s tech-driven world, Čapek’s masterpiece remains as urgent and thought-provoking as ever.
