The Acrobot is a groundbreaking circus performance that introduces a custom-built robotic acrobat flyer, redefining our understanding of human and machine collaboration through an exciting mix of juggling, acrobatics and storytelling.
A circus artist is forced to turn into an engineer when he meets his new acrobatic partner: a robot. Together they explore what happens when a robot physically relies on a human partner to execute its moves.
