DECADENCE RAVE OPERA SALOME
LOS - ANGELES - SANTA MONIKA
"A van through the apocalypse"
"A van through the apocalypse"
The performance placed the audience in a van moving through the apocalypse.
Following a route synchronized with the soundscape, the surrounding reality became the opera’s set — the city, the landscape, the world itself.
A personal journey through darkness toward the sea, the light, and the Suns transparent.

"At first, I was simply curious — how could the passing reality outside the window become a set? And how would it feel different from just listening to something in headphones?
But then the synchronization became uncanny. For example, the sound sang about mountains just as we were crossing mountains. Or when sirens filled the soundscape, and suddenly the road was filled with flashing lights — something you could never plan. And when we finally arrived at the Sun, the very moment the opera spoke of the Sun setting, the Sun actually set.
It was incredible — some kind of magic. A profound journey, both inward and deeply connected to reality. is transparent", - Alex, spectator
