Theatrical Hologram Experience
Live at the Kingston Grand Theatre, multi-platinum Canadian alt-rock band Our Lady Peace in partnership with ARHT Media ($ART), a globally-recognized hologram technology company, today announced “The Wonderful Future Theatrical Experience,” a first-of-its-kind sit down show that combines decades of Our Lady Peace music with one-on-one HoloPresence™-powered, real-time holographic conversation with futurist Ray Kurzweil.
“The Wonderful Future Theatrical Experience is poised to be the most inventive show we've ever attempted. Fans will feel more connected to the band, the music, and the characters involved with Spiritual Machines 1 & 2 than ever. We are finally able to introduce Ray Kurzweil, Molly, and other very special guests live in person,” says Raine Maida, lead singer and co-founder of Our Lady Peace. “After not being able to tour for a while, we have committed to pushing the boundaries of what a live show is on this tour but also appreciate there are OLP favourites that haven't been heard live in a minute. We got you!”
Advance tickets start at $79 plus taxes and fees, and are available for purchase online here. VIP add-on package available.
About Our Lady Peace
When Our Lady Peace released Spiritual Machines in 2000, they had become one of Canada’s most successful alt-rock bands. They were about to get even bigger with their next album, the Bob Rock-produced, megahit-spawning Gravity that would make OLP a global force.
Caught in-between those two eras, Spiritual Machines was the surreal left-turn. A concept record named after a book by Futurist Ray Kurzweil (whose voice appears throughout the album), Spiritual Machines found OLP subverting the working rock formula that worked so well for them, writing anthemic guitar hooks next to literal predictive modelings addressing a future dependent on AI and the legal rights of computers. Not your typical mainstream rock record. It sold modestly, but it quickly became a critic and fan favorite, and is now considered one of Canada’s most influential alt-rock records.
Twenty years later, Spiritual Machines’s predictions have mostly come true. Read more...
