This reminds me of something we had wanted to do?and might still do?over at games.transneptune.net. We made a little game that played in a very dreamlike fashion, with one person narrating, until a crux, and then asking the person on their left which way the fork went, and the person on their right how and why.
The game made lots of pieces of the dream, like people and places and objects, with little lists of known facts about them. What we wanted to do was figure out how to make it such that sometimes, you had to enter the thing you had just made into an online DB, and sometimes, you had to draw a random thing from someone else's dream-game via that same DB. It would, ultimately, be like Spore's content-sharing mechanism, if you remember that.
That's fallen off our plate, but we might yet do it!
Anyway, that's only sharing the artifacts of play, not the performance, but it might suggest some interesting routes for opening performance.
