Floating  Island  Tour

MEDIA ARCHIV returns the term "robot" on the scene in the form of a multimedia production, staged on an artificial island, for already Karel Čapek situated the plot of R.U.R. on a oceanic island.
In the farther offered presentation you will find information about the project of an artificial and extremely artistic island, which brings near the heritage of Karel Čapek with state-of-the-art technology in every city of Europe connected to the compact waterway. The beginning of the several years enduring tour of two days program (the first day is for the audience interested in opera, on the second day follows a short festival called "Night of Robots" for a wide spectrum of spectator) marked the festival "Night of Robots", produced by MEDIA ARCHIV to reassume the success of the premiere of R.U.R. in the National Theatre of Brno.
