  “Mechanical Souls : training session” is a collaborative immersive live experience. Audience members are welcomed in an office room, by an Agent and an Android from the A.I. corporation, Mechlife. Each viewer is treated as a new Mechlife employee. As part of their training they are invited to watch a «case study» in VR: One of their beta-model was a bridesmaid at a high-society wedding in Asia. Its behavior has been more than erratic. The audience need to understand why. The VR film also shows the conflicts among the wealthy families and the struggles for power. But audience does not know that, based on each viewer’s behavior in VR film. After the viewing, the two actors bring the audience to discuss about the android behavior. The audience will have to share information and debate based on what they have seen.
