The audience witness the fascinating birth of a queer, humanoid robot that is supposed to embody the cultural heritage of its creators. Although they fear for the safety and survival of their home, an island 160 kilometers off the Chinese mainland, it has a sense of humor.

But who exactly does this android resemble? What role should it play in the fate and future of Taiwan? And is it even allowed to have a mind of its own?
Post Theater and Taiwanese performer Po-Fu Wu have teamed up to tell this imaginative science meets fiction story of an android. He wants to defend the values of a free Taiwan. In doing so, he experiences extraordinary things, makes contact with people in a very lively way and ultimately comes up against the limits of his autonomy.
The amazingly lifelike Taiwanese android plays his own engineer, as well as the actor he is modeled on - Po-Fu Wu. The multiple overwriting and juxtaposition of original and replica are the playful core of this production, which revolves narratively around the future of a threatened democracy and evokes the crisis of artificial intelligence.
