PRISONCORE! is a multimedia show that places the audience within a panopticon to examine the impact of an always-watching eye. Lucky is starting his job as the night shift guard in the guard tower of a new panopticon prison claiming to focus on reform. Lucky introduces the inmates to Rain, a popular VTuber dealer who streams for an online casino. Their ideas of freedom are challenged after a moment of indifferent cruelty and we are left questioning who is getting sacrificed for our ‘freedoms’.
