wanted to re-imagine Shakespearean plays with robots, ideally staging them under the stars: Robot Hamlet in the Park; Titus Roboticus; and Romeo and Juliet Electronic Boo-ga-loo. Naturally, some plot points would need alteration (i.e. Ophelia couldn’t drown, but she could rust or get electrocuted; hmmm?). Unfortunately, due to lack of interest, my dream is not going to become a reality. Though I can’t do robot plays in the park, I can do the robot while electronic music plays in the park. No, it’s not the same thing, but it is mildly compensatory. As Part of Monteal's stellar Piknik Electronik, MSTRKRFT will play at Parc Jean Drapeau this Monday night. It's like regular electronic music, but much more hip. Think Daft Punk filtered through an indie-kid sensibility. No word on whether the audience will dance or stand still with their arms crossed and nod their heads.
