The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
This is a comedy show where performers improvise sketches in the style of traditional Javanese wayang orang theater. The sketches adapt various stories from folklore, biographies, fiction, and popular culture for a modern audience.

What happens
Opera Van Java (abbreviated as OVJ) is an improvisation comedy show broadcast on the Indonesian TV station Trans7. The show's concept is of wayang orang performances in a modern setting. As such, all positions are referred as wayang. The sketches are varied. They may be adapted from Indonesian folklore, biographies of famous persons, fiction, mystery stories, foreign stories, or popular culture. The name Opera Van Java likely comes as a parody of nickname of several places in Java by the Dutch during Indonesia's colonial times (i.e. Parijs van Java (Paris of Java) for Bandung), hence the name means Opera of Java. On 15 August 2016, Opera Van Java was revived with the new stars. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
