Two cybernetics students destroy a robot built by a rival team, and host a video-game party amidst the wreckage. Dial R for Robot explores the origins our moral systems and how they adapt with the rise of thinking machines. Audience members interact with the show through their mobile phones, choosing video-game roles for the actors, and making music with the band.
