Cadence of Altered Illusions
You are cordially invited to the home of Christopher A. Isaac. He'll be right with you, he's just in the shower. Over the next hour, Chris will tell you everything. His first job. His first love. The marriage. The son. The slow unravelling. You are his oldest friend, the one who was there for all of it. He just needs to know you haven't forgotten. An immersive theatre experience spanning six decades of one man's life. Performed for one person at a time. CAI uses mixed reality, volumetric capture and real-time performance not as spectacle but as tools for intimacy — technology in service of the oldest theatrical question there is, which is how to make a stranger care about someone they have never met. The show is performed for one audience member at a time because that is the only honest way to tell this particular story. You are not watching Chris's life. You are inside it. He is talking to you.
