Bean is trapped inside her spaceship. And now you’re trapped with her. Bean lost her memories and likes to play sad little songs on her keyboard in space. While she sings, you start to lose all sense of time. But don’t worry. In space, there’s always time. Or is there? As Bean performs her weird little show for you, she remembers why she, and perhaps you, needed to go to space in the first place. A sci-fi comedy exploration of grief through the wistful and weird eyes of a lost space traveller.

Bean vs. The Robots is Lema’s third solo show, but her very first musical. Her first solo show, Bean, was awarded Best of Hollywood Fringe and called one of the “top ten shows not to miss” at Fringe World Festival by The West Australian.
