The audience is split into two rooms: in one room the audience sees actors perform in front of a green screen in flesh, but not the digital content being layered on in real-time. The other room is a movie theater, screening a film that composites the live-feed movie of the actors in the other room with images that furnish the chroma-keyed surfaces.
Quoting personal experiences with immigration policies, crowd control mechanisms, identity politics, and creative paralysis, READY! SET! narrativizes existence as a relentless omnibus of waiting, disrupted by fake victories, ultimately adding up to a dramatic nothing.
