Follow the adventures of Brobot Johnson, an android newly invented by a scientist named Professor Toussaint, and his quest to learn the basic fundamentals of how to be a little more human one mundane but miraculous experience at a time.
One hundred years from now a race of Hip Hop androids known as Brobots will form a unit, The Tribe Called Space Quest, to spread their message of peace, love, and dopeness all over the universe. Through live looped vocals, rhymes, and beat-boxing, they perform the origin story of the first of their kind. They call it The Brobot Johnson Experience, a Sci-Fi Hip Hop solo concert that defies both space...and time.
Brobot Johnson is a transmedia piece written, starring, directed and composed by Darian Dauchan that exists in three parts, with three different mediums, a Hip Hop album: Brobot Johnson: Bionic Boom Bap, a Sci Fi Web Series: The New Adventures of Brobot Johnson, and finally as a theatrical production: The Brobot Johnson Experience. The story follows the adventures of Brobot Johnson, an android newly invented by a scientist named Professor Toussaint, and his quest to learn the basic fundamentals of how to be a little more human one mundane but miraculous experience at a time. The tone is both whimsical and humorous as the simplicity of the most basic tasks are amplified to epic triumphs and failures, i.e. eating, walking, dancing, smiling, fighting, etc. The music serves as the score for the narrative and each track from the album coincides with an episode from the series. The web series is part silent film(no dialogue), part music video, part performance art with the bulk of the episodes happening on the streets of New York City. The theatrical production is a Hip Hop solo concert that combines and reimagines both the series and the album through multimedia, live looped vocals, lyrics, and beat-boxing, was produced and developed with the support of the All for One Theater company where Dauchan is the artist in residence , and directed by Andrew Scoville, who was the Associate Director of the hit show Here Lies Love at the Public Theater. It made it's world Premiere in the Bushwick Starr's 2017-2018 Season and is a critically acclaimed Ben Brantley New York Times Critics' Pick.
