Bondi Pavilion presents
The Butterfly Who Flew into the Rave
By Oli Mathiesen with Lucy Lynch and Sharvon Mortimer
The award-winning endurance-based dance work to the booming techno album ‘Nocturbulous Behaviour’ by Suburban Knight. Exploring the movement vocabulary used in techno and rave culture, a contemporary nightclub between 3 bodies emerges. Relentless movement, seamless without pause, detailed down to every beat. The atmosphere and culture of a 3-day rave condensed into a high art, streamlined performance where you watch the destruction of 3 human beings commence in front of you. Indulge in the pain, the sweat, the cathartic mess; a display of pure endurance to achieve a goal. A spectacle of the human body as a victim to music, as a victim to passion, as a victim to our endless desire to achieve more. To win and win again.
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. It’s an ode to the past marathon of losing societal morals and political structure. Our communal loss of work, time, love, eating, fighting, cleaning, holidaying, sleeping, pashing, drinking, throwing up, everything, physicalise as an artifact of what we have endured. And just like listening to a love song that sings to that one breakup, ‘The Butterfly Who Flew Into the Rave’ is an acid house remix that screams sweat, fatigue and the desire to keep going
