Like any well-made play, this one starts with a booming voice from the sky
- though this booming voice arrives in the form of a hardcover copy of
Hedda Gabler torpedoing into the lap of a terribly bored Michigan
housewife. Suddenly, Jane Gordon finds herself captured by robots and
whisked off to the Ecuadorian rainforest to perform the titular role in a
robo-version of Henrik Ibsen’s famous drama. Jane’s ten-year-old daughter,
Nugget, with the aid of her milquetoast father, an eager documentary
filmmaker and her small arms dealing uncle must rescue her mother from the
mechanical grip of her robot captors - whether she wants to be saved or
not. Heddatron takes us on a hi(tech)storical journey through our trigger
happy-TV-4G-machine-obsessed world to ask that great question, “What does
it mean to be human?” Salvage Vanguard Theatre, with the help of the
University of Texas’ tech-savvy IEEE Robotics & Automation Society, is
ecstatic to offer a look at what happens when “real” robots and ever
realer humans battle it out on the stage in the Austin premiere of
Elizabeth Meriwether’s genre-defying head-trip Heddatron.
