Theatre director Amit Drori teamed up with designer Noam Dover to create a series of mechanical creatures for his travelling show 'Savanna: A Possible Landscape'. Picture is Eva, the heron. Photography: Mario Del Curto

上周，这些奇怪的生物在伦敦巴比康中心的“平原”上漫游，参加了导演阿米特·多罗里(Amit Drori)的“草原：一片可能的风景”(Savanna：a Leadscape)

以色列设计师NoamDover和Drori为他们的运动带来了生命，他们的动作非常逼真–乌龟的头好奇地抽动着，因为它穿过了灌木丛和赫隆，用肌肉力量打败了它的翅膀。

这些雕塑是德罗里童年想象中的产物。在母亲去世后，年轻的Drori带着一种愤恨和迷恋的混合神情，终于拿出一把锤子敲打钢琴，粉碎了钢琴，为自己创造了一个新的世界，用琴弦制成的动物完成了整个世界。

为了在舞台上扮演他想象中的稀树草原，德里向他的朋友和长期合作者Noam Dover和Michal Cederbaum合作，他们是工作和生活的伙伴。虽然Dover和Drori创造了这些生物——在生产过程中被木偶操纵者控制——Cederbaum设计了一系列的投影以展示非洲，在巴比肯混凝土的深处唤起了它。

机器人必须经过严格的训练过程，在这个过程中，多佛创造了一系列的行为模式、行为和表达方式。在舞台上，这几乎转化为人类的手势。

赛德鲍姆在节目结束后告诉我们，“我们对工艺和技术的交集感兴趣。”“我们喜欢把它叫做”工艺机器人“。在巴比康中心，这给了这些生物一种雕塑般的、几乎诗意的感觉。但是“机器人技术”的想法并不仅仅是为了多佛而采用动物的形式

Michal Cederbaum created the projections in the show in collaboration with Jerome Vernez. Made from paper-cutouts that were then photographed and digitally edited, the projections transport the view to Africa, even in the depths of the concrete Barbican
