u are the dream, an innovative and heartfelt exploration of humanity's relationship with technology, will debut at The Brick Theater as part of the 2025 Exponential Festival. Written and directed by Allyson Dwyer, this 60-minute internet triptych journeys through time, from early human wonder to digital-age connection.

Through its distinctive characters, u are the dream poignantly examines how humans dream, communicate, and adapt to technological progress.
