Experience the messy sprawl of the rave—all the pain, sweat and catharsis—condensed into one candy-fed endurance piece. A realm, where music fans become victims to their passions. Where societal mores and political structures get temporarily pulverised by the bpm. And where the shuffle and spin is the only way to win, again and again and again.
Oli Mathiesen, Lucy Lynch and Sharvon Mortimer are three of New Zealand-Aotearoa’s most nimble club fiends. Backed by Suburban Knight’s booming techno, this is their laser-shot of pure movement — detailed down to every beat.
1hr 10min. No interval.
Ages 12+.
