The performance Famulus 4.0 takes place at the Plaza de Canarias in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, exploring the interaction between humans, a robot dog, and the fragility of social bonds in the digital age.

The piece Famulus 4.0, developed by Iron Skulls, is staged on a 6x6 meter platform, a space that serves as a stage for dialogue between four performers and a robot dog. The work is constructed as a physical auto-fiction, addressing the fragility of social bonds in a context of hyper-connection and automation.
Inspired by the Latin term famulus (servant) and the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the proposal reflects on artificial intelligence, technology, and affections in the digital age. Designed for public and unconventional spaces, Iron Skulls combines scenic breaking with poetic and disruptive elements, posing questions about a future that is already present.
The event will take place on Saturday, September 19th, from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM, at the Plaza de Canarias (Rear of Parque Santa Catalina), located in the central area of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, between the El Muelle shopping center and Mesa y López avenue.
