Melbourne Theatre Company: The Robot Dog
10 March @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm AEDT

Bark meets byte in this thrilling tale exploring technology, language and culture in a fast-evolving world.
It’s 2042 and Australia is more automated than ever before. Janelle, a woman of Cantonese heritage, and her partner Harry, a First Nations man, move back into Janelle’s family home after the death of her mother. As they attempt to navigate their work, relationship and job seeking requirements, they find themselves assisted by the quirky AI controlling their home and a robotic therapy dog. Janelle and Harry are quickly swept into a world of augmentations, restrictions and chaos. Does their new hi-tech life help them connect to culture and each other, or does it hinder it?
