Robot Nao is an installation-performance in which we meet the robot Nao and are welcomed into a contemporary, everyday environment. In a confessional genre, he shares with us his worries and joys in the same way a friend or neighbor might do.
The author bestows the robot with a contemporary form of a romantic identity, thus repeating the first such gesture made in the history of the fantasy literary genre, by Mary Shelley with Frankenstein, though perhaps with only a slightly ironic and humorous twist this time. Srhoj is interested exactly in the hypothetical twist in which technophobia becomes profane and the robot acquires a human subjectivity, including all the bizarreness that it is usually accused of.
