DeepBlue and the Perff Bots

A performance \;featuring a plethora of talent including the human orchestra \;DeepBlue \;and over 40 robots.

The closing performance for Robotronica features a plethora of talent including the human orchestra \;DeepBlue \;and over 40 robots developed through a ground-breaking art and sciences collaboration between QUT'\;s Faculties of Science &\; Engineering and Creative Industries. The performance tells a fantasy story of the evolution of humans and their machines and is co-directed by Andy Arthurs\, Jonathan Roberts and Jared Donovan.

DeepBlue is the orchestra unleashed\, comprising of strings\, electronics and physical theatre and movement amplified and magnified by video and lighting and interactivity. Distinctive\, disruptive and innovative\, tossing many traditional notions of the orchestra overboard. Formally trained they'\;ve applied their creative and performing skills to shaking the musical tree\, coaxing back mainstream audiences to experience their take on the orchestra of the 21st Century.

DeepBlue have received huge exposure through live performances and TV appearances across the country\, and at massive festivals in India\, Vietnam\, Taiwan\, Malyasia\, Thailand\, Indonesia and China. DeepBlue'\;s last three Australian seasons sold out. They have completed five successful national tours\, performing at major metropolitan and regional entertainment centers. Catch DeepBlue in a one night only robot spectacular!
