Care is vital for fostering solidarity, yet it also serves as an essential resource for sustaining a capitalist society. These tensions between care as an exploited resource and the emergence of a new market for robotic care demand critical scrutiny. How do we nurture and care for technologies deployed in the care field?

Reassembling Bolts of Care blends pre-recorded video footage of robotic performances with live theatrical scenes. It incorporates narration and biographical elements that draw from Julie-Michèle's own experiences and relationship to care, health and technologies as a researcher and a citizen. This tiny performance integrates various robots, each designed (or not) to provide care for someone or something.
This robotic performance-lecture aims to challenge the definition of care embedded in robotic technologies, advocating for a reevaluation of our relationships and ethics towards these technologies.
