If the description “cyber erotica” gets your gears going, Android Dreams is not to be missed. Set in the aftermath of an all-too-realistic eco apocalypse, the bio-mech remainders are left to pick up the pieces and try to survive in whatever world they can. Showcasing earnest connections through burlesque and pole, Velvet Nox reaches toward a shockingly hopeful cybernetic resolution. Who knows if androids dream of electric sheep, but here, they’re definitely dreaming of a more connected future. – Cat McCarreySept. 19-20
