Fronth on the Daydream, Boris Vian's famous jazz novel, becomes the anchor of a 15-minute collective and interactive virtual reality experience specially designed for the 360° immersive structure, Le Cube.

The audience is invited to enter Colin's room: a poetic, interactive and sensory huis clos. Inside, the audience plunges into the heart of the universe of Froth on the Daydream. Very quickly, they are invited to interact in a playful and instinctive way with Boris Vian's key inventions - such as the Pianocktail, the Biglemoi, and the anti-nymph flowers - to advance the story and trigger funny or dramatic situations.

By adapting Boris Vian's work for a virtual reality device, the aim is to offer spectators the opportunity to (re)experience the sensations, emotions, sounds, roughness and colours of this treasure of literary heritage, to offer a contemporary and innovative interpretation of the work, as an answer to the question "What is it to represent Boris Vian's work 100 years after his birth...?
