Set in dystopian Catcotopia, it is the story of our epik quest for meaning in our modern world…told entirely through stupid cat pictures. LOLPERA is an epik clash between low-brow humor and high art; a “gesamtkunstwerk” that asks the important questions about this our modern world: Can we find meaning in the meaningless? Will what we create ultimately destroy us? Can we really haz Cheezburger? The year is 2084. Our only means of communication: cat pictures. Welcome to our Brave Mew World.
