dirk the tramp

Dirk is a life-size tramp. He strolls through the streets pushing his rattling shopping trolley.

Dirk is the first free moving robot that is often mistaken for a genuine human being, for the audience it is an interesting encounter that often ends in a startling revelation.

Dirk has already had many human adventures in his relatively short life.
People use him as a companion to confide in, accompany him for a while or give him a spare coin.

He even got arrested in a German shopping centre!

However, most of the time you will find Dirk surrounded by a curious audience while he entertains them with the music of his hundred-year old organ.
