Check out that rather interesting video that sees holographic heads which can interact with the musicians. The heads will interact by giving the impression that they are on the turn wheels or getting hit by Will Clark himself. The entire performance is definitely from the future, and our ancestors would probably have run off claiming that a bunch of headless ghosts have made their permanent residence at the theater, only to have the resident priest called in for an exorcism session. Entertaining, but we’re not too certain whether the novelty factor can grant such a genre sufficient longevity among the audience.
