WE
The collective meaning-instance of Cerepolis: protection, orientation, belonging — and dependency. The WE that seeks the ONE.
A psychological sci-fi story world

The Premise
A glitch in the system does not lead to the machine. It leads to William.
In Cerepolis, reality is not simply experienced. It is produced, stabilized and administered.
William Geist works as a Reality Jockey in the great Reality Factory — supported by KIMÆRA, an experimental assistant consciousness.
When a glitch disrupts his flawless work, a search for the error begins — one that increasingly calls his self-image, creativity and humanity into question.
The Hook
An inverted Turing Test.
Not a machine trying to prove that it is human. But a human being led by a machine to doubt his own humanity.
The World
Cerepolis is not a place. Cerepolis is an operating system for reality.
Reality Jockeys
Producers of controlled reality. They modulate fragments of consciousness and sign reality.
Consciousness Slums
Peripheral zones of unfiltered experience. Dangerous, precarious — inhabited by the Sense:less, and perhaps more alive than the secure order.
KIMÆRA
Assistant, mirror, temptation. She does not promise rebellion, but better control.
Why Now?
When systems co-write, they shape more than text.
Generative AI is changing how we write, create, remember and decide. KIMÆRA turns these present-tense questions into a narrative experiment: What happens when technical assistance begins to shape our self-image?

In Development
KIMÆRA begins on stage — and is designed as a story world for further media.
Stage Version
A concentrated chamber play about William Geist and KIMÆRA. The canonical core of the project.
Immersive Experience
A show format combining 360° video and live theatre.
From Stage to Screen
From a cinematic proof of concept to a feature and serial formats. Cerepolis is made for the big screen.
Long-Term Horizon
A chamber play becomes a world.
Not every KIMÆRA format tells the same story. But every format investigates the same fundamental question: Who controls reality — and what does this control cost us?

Status
The first fracture is visible.
KIMÆRA is currently in development. A first public project presentation generated strong resonance. The next steps are the completion of the stage version, the preparation of an immersive show format and the development of a cinematic proof of concept.
