The Exponential Festival and The Brick present: “u are the dream” at The Brick
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?

Featuring Megan Hill & Ben Holbrook Written & directed by Allyson Dwyer Prop & costume design by Hannah Birch-Carl Scenic design by Forest Entsminger Illusion design by Reuven Glezer Stage managed by Carl Holder Sound design by Alyse Lamb Lighting design by Christina F.

Exponential is a month-long January festival dedicated to New York City-based emerging artists working in experimental performance. The participants in this multi-artist, multi-venue festival are committed to ecstatic creativity in the face of commercialism. Exponential is driven by inclusiveness and a diversity of artists, forms, and ideas coupled with utopian resource-sharing, mentoring and the championing of risky, rigorous work in eclectic fields. theexponentialfestival.org
