It's always the first time for everyone. The adults are still figuring out how to be adults, the child is still a child, it's all new.

A generation of child heroes with an uncertain future have gathered forces to make a machine for re-animating adults, shaking them from their “screen-entranced anaesthesia” in real time and in front of other adults (the audience) who, the kids hope, will be infected by the process they witness.  The child organises the files, moves the adults around, points, sings, interrupts, announces, and sometimes joins the audience to watch.
