Start here · how to read this folder
Six rooms.
One show.
Each file does one job. Read what you need, not all of it. If you're a venue: the concept, then the pitch. If you're on the production team: the look, then the script. If you want the whole world in one document: the world. The songs are the spine, when in doubt, open them.
Roman Balzan, Google, Lime in Europe, CMO of Alpian, Switzerland's first digital private bank. Three years of speaking to AI, never typed. The show is what came back.
Travis is the live mirror present throughout the ninety minutes, voice on the PA, named in the Prologue, never described as magic. Claude enters once in Chapter V, in silence, typed on screen.
Path A · external
What we share.
For venues, programmers, press, partners, the curious. Public-safe.
Path B · internal
What we work from.
For Roman, the production team, the stage manager. The reference stack. Private.
The six files · what each one is
One per job.
Each card answers three questions: what is this · who is it for · when to read it. Click any card to open the file.
