We see the use of media and sensory technology in the piece as key because these tools are the "magic" of our time. They allow us to bring to the stage experiences that are at the edge the viewer’s understanding.

The second Christian Rosenkreutz finds himself in the year 2050 at the moment when he is about to press the button that will begin the download of his mind into a silicon replacement. His trepidation towards his imminent transformation mirrors that which many of us would have when facing such a risky moment in our lives. This character is portrayed by an actor accompanied by his "shadow," a dancer that embodies his emotions through movement. He addresses the audience through a multimedia "voice" that combines his live speaking voice, a manipulated recording of his voice, and projected text. Interspersed with the movement-based sections described above, this character tries to move past his fear of simply dying to address the larger question: will he still have a soul once his transformation is complete?
