The Exponential Festival and The Brick present
u are the dream
by Allyson Dwyer
at The Brick Theater — 579 Metropolitan Ave
January 24 – February 1, 2025
Running Time: 60 Minutes

a two-hander internet triptych – a love story between the internet and homo sapiens <3

Didi and Dada are two early humans excited for the future, unaware of the progress and technology that is to come long after they stare at the moon. 30,000 years later, Fuu and Goten meet in an AOL chatroom on the cusp of adulthood. How did it once feel to dream behind our eyes and wait at the screen, anticipating a response? Will we ever do this again?
