Overview
- Alan Castillo Vázquez, known as Robotín, said local officials issued him a permit and photocard to perform for tips legally at Santa Monica Pier in Los Angeles.
- His show is static pantomime as a human statue, starting in the late afternoon when tourists gather and moving only when people tip.
- He told Magaly TV he made about $140 during a short first session at the pier, describing it as an encouraging start.
- To connect with English-speaking visitors, he now performs as “Mini Peruvian Robot” and plans to add familiar songs in English.
- He is living in a small RV with basics like a bath, kitchen and beds as he settles into work and refines the act.
