Get a preview of the robotic cabaret-style performance to be launched in Summer 2008 by los de la máquina. In it, a mix of mechanical characters, digital interaction, vintage analog remixes, human actors and puppeteers draw audiences into Tessera –- the fairypunk machine dreamworld that exists somewhere between binary ones and zeros. See a robot-controlled marionette and steampunk bunraku puppet from the show.
