NEWPHORIA: THE END OF REALITY RAVE

NEWPHORIA: THE END OF REALITY RAVE [ecolagbohrsac2021 x Fetchish] [2024, CURATION]
co-curated, produced with Kirill Vilshenko.

Gather ’round, ye merry souls, ye seekers of mystery for a fantastical fête like no other brought forth by ecolagbohrsac2021 x Fetchish – “NEWPHORIA: THE END OF REALITY RAVE <3”, set to unfold in the blossoming Summer of 2024 amidst the hidden underbelly of our fair Londontown.

On the ninth day of August at Corsica Studios VaporRave beats with echoes of the minstrelsy of aphex reimagined by cunning AI sprite and accompanied by Slayphex Twins. Amongst rivers of bog and slime, Digital jesters weave a tapestry of Cyphergothic EDM [Enharmonic Dank Music], Counter-Strike pop gets mashed with underworld-spectral-sludge-trance, laments of Lil Texas echo in the folk-tradition of insufferable and frenzied melody, thundering kicks as piercing as the sharpest angelic-blade, accompanied by a shrillness so dire it doth make me recoil and beseech for reality’s merciful end. All adorned with Godly beams [aka Atomic 3000s] illuminating Glittering trash and melding ancient hyper-augmented trashpop rhythms with the pulse of futures yet unseen.

The event will feature PAEAN: a durational performance/theatre-piece written by Miedo Total, with conceptualisation by ecolagbohrsac2021 and Kirill Vilshenko and costume design by @powster6000 and @333clovr. Presented by ADORATION.

PAEAN [durational performance/theatre-piece /// not even LARP]
9 AUGUST 2024 @corsica.studios

Hark, valiant players of PAEAN; our beloved, user-modded MMORPG which has thrived through decades of your devotion. A decree from the developers of the official, AAA game upon which our world was built spreads unease within our cherished realm. As panic and disbelief grip our hearts, we gather for one final, chaotic celebration. Let us honor the bonds forged in battle and the memories etched in time. Embrace the camaraderie, for the dawn heralds a profound and uncertain change.”
