Relentless movement, seamless without pause, detailed down to every beat. Exploring the movement used in techno and rave culture, witness the destruction of 3 humans.

Indulge in the pain, the sweat; a display of pure endurance to achieve a goal. A spectacle of the human body as a victim to music, to passion, to our endless desire to achieve more. To win and win again. Resuscitation on repeat.

It is the come up and the come down all in one and highlights the beauty of feeling alive but all the consequences that come with it.

The award-winning endurance-based dance work to the booming techno album ‘Nocturbulous Behaviour’ by Suburban Knight is the atmosphere and culture of a 3-day rave condensed into an hour.
