- The set reimagined Big Science, Language Is a Virus, Bodies in Motion and It’s Not the Bullet…, alongside deconstructed takes on Lou Reed and Bob Dylan.
- Vocoder‑treated vocals, electric violin and AI‑generated visuals for a grandfather tale underscored a multimedia narrative with references to Cornel West and Pema Chödrön.
