The School of Performance Presents: Rossum's Universal Robots

By Karel Čapek

Directed by Gabriela Petrov

Life will not perish. It will sprout again from love; naked and tiny at first, it will take root in the wasteland; it will have no use for anything that we did and built; no use for our cities and our factories, for our art, or our ideas, but it won’t perish! Only we will have perished! The houses and machines that we built will turn to dust, all systems will fall apart, and the names of our heroes will fall away like leaves in autumn. 

• Alquist, Epilogue, (R.U.R., Čapek, 1921)
