Through various devices that animate objects, “hollow head doll’s foam” is a theatrical play without human actors that explores the uncanny possibilities of projecting a body into anthropomorphic objects. One of the key points that permeates the debate proposed by “hollow head” is the post-anthropocene idea; that is, a moment when the human being would no longer be the center of development and action in nature, but rather would be replaced by other types of agents, a world where subjects are voluntarily being replaced by invisible mechanisms. To “animate” the objects of the play, three main procedures are used, namely: mechanical movement through motors and programmed microcontrollers; the spatialized sound that builds narratives and soundscapes; and the mapped video projection on space and objects themselves.
