The Robot Dog in rehearsals

Step inside the rehearsal room to see the cast and creatives of The Robot Dog bring this new sci-fi comedy to the stage.

Bark meets byte in this thrilling tale exploring technology, language and culture in a fast-evolving world. A collaboration between Hong Kong-born multidisciplinary artist Roshelle Yee Pui Fong and Luritja writer and technologist Matthew Ngamurarri Heffernan with director Amy Sole (Blak in the Room), The Robot Dog is a relatable, imaginative and highly theatrical production full of humour and humanity.

Commissioned and developed through Melbourne Theatre Company’s NEXT STAGE Writers’ Program, with the support of our Playwrights Giving Circle.
