In a way, robots are those seemingly artificial and lifeless beings who, at some point in the future, may be condemned to imitate our actions and even our emotions, for now we invite you to think about it.
Bibo inhabits a lonely, mechanical and strangely artificial world, in fact our friend is the only protagonist in history and lives in an imaginary world, where only the routine of the little things he does in the day to day offers encouragement and even happiness.
Bibo lives in an automated and melancholy dimension, his only hope is to wait for time to pass and at 8 in the morning run to the square and offer ice cream to children, children that only exist in your imagination.
We can say that this square-looking, mechanical and empty-looking character inside represents many dimensions that characterize us: humanity, this race superior to machines.
? We also create defense mechanisms to protect ourselves from our reality.
? Often, the routines, habits, and little things we do create our world and allow us to survive one way or another. It’s not a meaningful life, but it’s a good lifeguard that allows us to maintain strength and dignity.
? Bibo likes simple things: warming his feet in front of the fireplace, resting in a mecedora and breathing the sadness he misses?It is a creature that represents very well a part of our human condition, at a time when humans have ceased to be. Exists.
We all have dreams and inner worlds that are often the only thing that gives us the strength to rise up every morning, this feeling must be casual, no one should live solely through their defense mechanisms, their dreams and their false illusions.
Bibo suffers the curse of living only memories of the past and, above all, a melancholy that turns his steps, his heart, this always punctual clock, and even this girl who has long since ceased to be real.
