FANTASIA:The Secret of DreamCompany（2023）
Experimental Video x Immersive Theatre
Reflecting on the human nature and desires in urban life over the past three years, the staff, prosecutors, and students struggling in the quagmire of reality, facing failed lives and huge temptations, fall into the contradictions of frustration and hope, revenge and redemption, emptiness and anger, and finally go crazy and perish.
This is not only an individual tragedy, but also a tragedy of the times. Through the drama performances and physical theater that change the scene, it brings the audience a multi-dimensional understanding and imagination.
精神层面的空洞愈发显著，社会的裂痕也逐渐加剧。
在这种环境下，许多人背负着高压的生存负担——紧张的工作节奏和生活的加速让他们的内心日益焦灼、疲惫。
精神的过度透支剥夺了他们的想象力，甚至丧失了做梦的能力。
梦境，这一心灵的最后庇护所，正在悄然从生活中消失。
在现实的重压之下，人们为了寻找一丝心灵的慰藉，纷纷向梦境公司寻求帮助。
这些公司借助尖端科技，在人工环境中为人们“制造”梦境，通过刺激前额叶皮层，激发潜意识活动，人们得以重新体验久违的梦境。
然而，梦境公司的兴起也带来了新的隐忧。
随着越来越多的人依赖外部科技获得精神满足，他们与现实世界的联系愈加脆弱。
真实生活的压力和失望让他们更加依赖梦境，逐渐陷入一种恶性循环。
在对物质与表象的无止追逐中，人类渐渐迷失了自我，丧失了内在的丰富性和创造力。
/ Background setting
In a fictional parallel universe, society has been deeply permeated by commodification and the relentless drive for attention, with daily life consumed by the forces of consumerism, endless social media streams, and an overwhelming flow of information.
An increasing void in the spiritual realm has become evident, and social fissures continue to widen.
Within this environment, many find themselves weighed down by survival pressures—the intense pace of work and accelerated living have left their inner worlds strained and exhausted.
This relentless drain on their mental resources has robbed them of imagination, even depriving them of the ability to dream.
Dreams, once the final refuge of the human spirit, are quietly fading from their lives.
Under the crushing weight of reality, people seek solace for their minds and turn to “Dream Companies” for help.
These corporations harness cutting-edge technology to “manufacture” dreams in artificial environments, stimulating the prefrontal cortex and tapping into the subconscious, allowing individuals to once again experience long-lost dreams.
However, the rise of Dream Companies has introduced a new set of concerns. As more people rely on external technology for spiritual satisfaction, their connection to the real world weakens.
The pressures and disappointments of real life drive them further into dependency on dreams, creating a vicious cycle.
In their endless pursuit of material and surface-level goals, humanity gradually loses its sense of self, along with the richnessand creativity of the inner world.

The Principle of Dreaming
The formation of dreams is mainly related to the hippocampus and thalamus.
The hippocampus is responsible for reproducing past information and scenes and generating new experience fragments.
The thalamus works together to create richer and more realistic emotional experiences.
The prefrontal cortex promotes changes in plots and events in dreams, creating interesting and novel plots.
为了牟取暴利，FANTASA梦境公司大肆扩招，进而对员工实施苛刻压榨。
由于对产能的执念，公司认为现有员工的效率低下，便强制要求他们用人工前额叶皮层替换大脑原有皮层，提升“造梦”效率。
若拒绝替换，则立即开除。
而人工皮层的高昂成本也由员工分期支付，15年内从薪资中逐月扣除。
这种人造皮层虽然提升了生产效率，却产生了一个极端副作用：员工必须每天睡眠20小时才能维持基本生命体征。FANTASA公司为表现优秀、深度适应异化环境的员工提供了一种名为“索博瑞（SOBERRY)”的产品（取词根sober，清醒的），类似于兴奋剂，让他们无需花费大量时间休息便能保持活力，并晋升为管理层，负责监督“造梦”的员工。
成为公司普通员工，衣食无忧；而步入管理层，更是享受着普通人无法企及的财富与地位。
正因如此，许多饱经生活打磨的普通人心甘情愿签下“卖身契”，即保密协议，全心投入到梦境公司构建的“美梦”之中，成为这台造梦机器的一部分。极端副作用：员工必须每天睡眠20小时才能维持基本生命体征。FANTASA公司为表现优秀、深度适应异化环境的员工提供了一种名为“索博瑞（SOBERRY)”的产品（取词根sober，清醒的），类似于兴奋剂，让他们无需花费大量时间休息便能保持活力，并晋升为管理层，负责监督“造梦”的员工。
How the company works
In this world, people are overwhelmed by pressure and suffering.
To maximize profits, FANTASA Dream Corporation aggressively expands its workforce, implementing severe exploitation policies on its employees.
Driven by an obsession with productivity, the company deems the current workforce inefficient and forces them to replace their natural prefrontal cortex with an artificial one, thereby enhancing the “dream production” efficiency.
Those who refuse are terminated.
The artificial cortex comes with a steep cost, which employees are required to pay off through monthly deductions over 15 years.
While this artificial cortex boosts productivity, it brings a severe side effect: employees must sleep 20 hours each day to maintain basic life functions. For high-performing employees who have deeply adapted to this altered environment, FANTASA offers a product called "SOBERRY" (from the root word “sober”), a stimulant-like substance that allows them to remain active without extensive sleep. These employees are promoted to management roles, responsible for overseeing the “dream-producing” workforce.
Becoming a regular employee at FANTASA guarantees financial stability, and advancing to management offers wealth and status beyond the reach of most people.
Consequently, many individuals, worn down by life’s hardships, willingly sign a "contract of servitude" (a confidentiality agreement) and devote themselves to the "dream" crafted by FANTASA, becoming an essential part of this dream-making machine.

A. Employees of large factories
Driven by the need to make a living, he joined FANTASA Dream Corporation and, like others who have been alienated by capital, replaced his own prefrontal cortex with an artificial one. Through relentless effort, he rose to a management position and now relies on “Soberry” to stay alert each day. However, he endures severe stress and exhaustion, which has gradually distorted his psyche. Intent on exploiting external forces to orchestrate a “coincidence” that would disrupt the operation of Dream Corp., he hopes to realize his desire to gain control of the human mind.
Daily Work: Monitoring the Dream Analyzer daily to ensure it runs smoothly, while overseeing its regular maintenance.
Clue: Recently, he discreetly loosened a critical screw on the Dream Analyzer, deliberately placing the device in an unstable state in hopes of triggering a system malfunction and causing a chain reaction that would lead to greater issues. He’s also leaked news of “operational disorder” at Dream Corp., aiming to draw outside intervention and push the company into total chaos.
