Famulus 4.0
Iron Skulls Co
A 6 x 6 meter platform, delimited yet infinite at the same time.
Four people and a robotic dog. A dialogue between the human and the artificial.
An autofiction told through movement.
A performance that explores the fragility of social bonds in the age of hyperconnection and automation.
Famulus 4.0 builds a physical and emotional universe where the real and the digital intersect without permission.
Inspired by the Latin term famulus (servant) and the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the piece engages with contemporary discourses on artificial intelligence, the use of technology, and emotional ties in today’s digital era.
Designed for public, scenic, and non-conventional spaces, Iron Skulls presents, through stage breaking, an experience where the poetic and the disruptive coexist.
A work that does not offer answers but instead plants questions about the impact of technology on a future that is already present.

Iron Skulls Co
Since 2013, Iron Skulls has been researching and innovating the limits of movement through the hybridization of breaking in the performing arts, with the aim of transmitting culture.
The essence of the company combines the sensitivity of contemporary dance and the power of urban dances together with theatre, breaking the boundaries of movement. Their passion for blending elements external to dance is part of their distinctive identity, where visual arts and technology play a fundamental role in their creative process.
At the same time, by creating artistic universes that explore past, present, and future, this dance company produces works in the performing arts, where innovation is the driving force of social and cultural transformation.
