Ballet for robot vacuum cleaners

A man is waiting to be served for a candle-lit dinner accompanied by romantic music.
Here, the service is automated and managed by artificial intelligence with somewhat limited capacities. Robots move about randomly and come and go in the space, creating a hypnotic dance. During the performance, their behaviour is increasingly disordered and they even seem to have human intentions. A question of balance, on the edge of the precipice, an accident is never far away.
