Puppeteers for Fears presents Robopocalypse The Musical!

 

Puppeteers for Fears is an Oregon-based comedy troupe, specializing in original horror and science fiction rock’n’roll musicals performed with puppets. The company was founded as a one-night-only cabaret show for Halloween 2015, but was so popular that its various members kept going and never looked back. In the time since, PFF has written and performed a half dozen original rock and roll musicals covering everything from supernatural monsters to killer robots to lonely sasquatches, and sold out venues all over the country with its innovative and hilarious combination of puppetry, video, and live music.

 

ROBOPOCALYPSE: THE MUSICAL!,

Years in the making, the show is a hilarious cyberpunk escapade exploring impacts of the meteoric rise of artificial intelligence on a world still struggling to remember its email logins. The show will be performed entirely with hand-and-rod (Muppet-style) puppets and a live band. It tells the story of Jolie Daniels, teen hacker extraordinaire, whose efforts to build a sentient robot as a means to connect with her tech-baron father accidentally birth a malevolent artificial intelligence that she alone has the ability to stop — if she can survive the army of self-driving cars and web-connected smart gadgets that the A.I. has weaponized against her.
