The human body is inseparable from personality and can not be objectified, argues Kathleen Richardson in her statement on sex robots in 2017. Is it still possible that sexrobots will soon be so popular that they can even replace human relationships? Will the questions like making love with a humanoid android is a cheat, or can a person lose virginity with a robot be soon actual? In cooperation with the visual artist Kristóf Szabó we create „little magic box of harmony”, where passerby can choose what they want the dancers to do, what they want to see from them. The performers move forward and disappear, like products on a conveyor belt. Their choreographed actions and the projection from two sides creates a living choreographed installation giving the audience the possibility of free choice but not the possibility of total ignorance. We research human needs and wants, stereotypes of femininity and their origins. We play with creation of illusions and real human feelings. For safety reasons and organization, the game is led by a genderneutral ringmaster.
