Motion Sickness

An existential crisis at the Rave.

Urgent rave-inspired electronic music is performed live, with a spiralling monologue and immersive visuals describing the three leading theories of the end of the universe.

It’s a cathartic, existential hour of fear, rage and hope.

Please take a second to think about the ever-expanding blackness of space, about the vastness of the deep ocean. Consider that roughly 5,600 minutes of video is uploaded to TikTok every single minute. While we watch the rise of divisive, fascist policy at home, and genocidal war crimes overseas, scientists are predicting the end of the cosmos, and the end might be closer than you think.

To be a tiny part of a massive universe is not the same as being insignificant.
