collective is premiering their latest interactive show, gumball dreams. it's 25 cents and unfortunately, i have no cash on me. it's kind of like a virtual version of secret cinema, but the stage here is made of pixels and the live performers are robots and blue aliens. it's a beautiful way of interacting with actors from wherever you are in the world. we have actors all over the world — we have somebody in thailand, in new york and in la and they — they interact with people from, like, rural areas who've never experienced immersive theatre before, so you don't actually have to leave your house to get to the theatre — you put on a headset instead of driving there. he's got a rubik's cube. he's very happy with that. you can do things in vr that you could never do in real life. you can make a book turn into a house right in front of your eyes or travel through time and space into one room to the next. you know, you can get as much out of it as you put into it. i must stay behind for i have many preparations to make. no! off you go.
