A flobot from my game āFlomec Adventureā
Darian Dauchan speaks with AFOās Artistic Director, Michael Wolk, about The Brobot Johnson Experience
Show runs through March 17th at The Bushwick Starr

Michael Wolk: What is The Brobot Johnson Experience?
DD: A hundred years from now, there is a group of hip-hop androids that go by the name of BroBots. Theyāre from the planet Nubian, and thereās a unit that theyāve created called āA Tribe Called Space Quest,ā which is the BroBot intergalactic outreach program. They spread their message of peace, love, and dopeness throughout the entire universe.
FloBot [the star of the show] is one of those ambassadors. Heās a direct descendent of the Original Brobot, Brobot Johnson.
This is the first time that BroBots have ever really messed around with time travel and FloBot is the pioneer. But when you mess with time, things can go very wrong. And he only has a certain amount of time to be here with us before he can get back home. Thatās where the stakes get really high. People can be brought out of existence or erased. But thereās also the possibility for things to get better, right? The possibility to reshape history. Thatās whatās exciting about it.
Darian Dauchan: Were you influenced by any works of āAfrofuturismā?Ā
DD: Not initially. I had just wanted to combine my love of science fiction with hip-hop. And then once I was already developing it, I saw, āOkay, this is not necessarily a new thing that Iām doing here.ā Artists like Sun Ra, Parliament Funkadelic and more recently artists like Janelle MonĆ”e (were) already messing with this interstellar groove genre.Ā It is good to have a way to define your work. Although I like calling the genre āSci-Fi Hip-Hop.ā For me, that works.
MW: The show delivers a very compassionate, life and love-affirming message. It seems a lot more optimistic than your previous shows.
DD: Some of my previous work has been overtly political, whereas this is more subversive. Itās there, you can find things, but I wanted to create a fun, imaginative, uplifting show for my own sanity. Having written a lot of tragedies already, itās funny how as I get older I find it imperative to create work that really uplifts me. And I think thereās a way to talk about politics and still be uplifting. Ā We can do all that dark stuff, but at the end we need a silver lining. As artists, we all kind of want to say, āI told the truth, the world is terrible, good night!ā and drop the mic.
MW: Weāve seen that show a lot.
DD: Yes, a lot! And then those artists say, āHey, I did my part, now you guys figure out how to clean up this mess.ā Thatās like political theater 101: Itās very basic, you can do something more advanced than that. Otherwise, youāre leaving the audience in a very paralyzed state. Youāre not giving them a call to action or anything like that.
So, for this show in particular, itās about FloBot and myself trying to uplift people in a way that feels genuine and organic. Itās not necessarily a ākumbayaā kind of thing, even though there is a bit of that in there. But when you add hip-hop into it, it gives it a little more pop.
And this piece has the most audience participation of any thing Iāve ever done. That part, as a performer, is a little nerve-wracking. But it really helps that Iāve spent over a decade as a teaching artist, knowing how to work with young people, because a lot of the show is instructional.
MW: What kind of discussion do you hope this show will launch?
DD: I hope it opens up discussions about feeling that we have some degree of agency. That we have an opportunity to kind of reboot the way that our future is going. The larger question of the show is: How can we as a species better appreciate the miracles of the human experience? That question reflects where Iām at spiritually. I meditate every day. Itās about being as present as possible and really connecting with the people in front of you. And if people have an hour and 20 minutes of that, then maybe that has some value as we go forward.
In this piece, Iām trying to talk about being the best version of yourself in order to connect with everyone. FloBot is a rookie ambassador, so heās still got some things to learn. The audience sees him as he strives to improve himself.
