Dog Powered Robot was the brain child of Evan Miga for 2010's Creative Mind Experiment. From this brief piece, it became an unexpected, breakout hit...and he's been ardently working to turn the idea into a full show for this year's Fringe. I'm sure I wasn't the only person wondering how this was going to happen. But, as the lights dimmed for Dog Powered Robot and the History of the Future, and I soon saw the familiar visage of local actor, John Bateman, flailing on the floor as Mr. Bones (the evil villain of the piece), my nerves became calm.
Miga wisely chose to tell the story of the origins of his irresistible dog bot through a "hologram" reenactment. Technology runs amuck and what was once one robot, has become a sea of robots in all shapes, sizes and combinations. A classic good-triumphs-over-evil tale emerges - with our favorite hero, Dog Powered Robot, coming on the scene to save the day (and the audience).
Dog Powered Robot has sold out several times but you will have another chance to see the show at Patron's Pick.
