Quantum Rave
Synopsis
In a decaying Universe where black holes are increasing, disillusioned young people seek to escape their bleak reality by using sonic drugs or pretending to be antisocial hikikomoris posing as robots. A rumor of a mythical rave beyond the cosmic microwave background circulates among them, where cosmic rhythm and meaning are believed to be controlled. Crooner-Boy (CB), a clumsy 40-year-old singer with a powerful voice, and Lena Ivkovic, a young activist, performer, and DJ, cross paths with the shared goal of reaching the rave. They persuade Commander Plank to take them on his ship, the Discovery 2. Plank, a narcissistic space traveler, is on a mission critical to the Universe's destiny: finding a new home for a wise but endangered cosmic species. The fates of these characters collide as they struggle, love, sing, and explore the Universe in the original space opera "Quantum Rave," blending music, humor, science fiction, action, relativity, and quantum mechanics. Themes like anthropocentrism, estrangement, and the role of art are humorously examined in this comedic adventure.
