Spoilers ahead

In this offbeat sci‑fi musical, a guitar‑shaped spaceship teams up with a sentient robot, 1359, as they scour the cosmos in search of the source of rock and roll. Their first stops, planets Teldar and Malox, yield nothing but more questions, and when they arrive at Acirema they witness a dazzling dance performance. The show features a duet between rival factions led by Dee Dee and Rain, whose love story mirrors a modern-day Romeo and Juliet as their gangs clash beneath neon lights. Even after the spectacle, the crew leaves Acirema without answers, and the mission presses on.
