Short Description
A ritual rave exploring the divine darkness in all of us, Night Cult returned with a vengeance in May 2024—unleashing a sensory overload of immersive performance, music, and spectacle. Presented at House of Yes, this installment fused underground nightlife with high-concept stagecraft and avant-garde performance art.

Creative Concept
Built around themes of divine transformation and dark ecstasy, Night Cult challenged audiences to embrace their inner chaos through ritual, movement, and performance. I tapped Godspawn, an all-trans dance company directed by God Complex, to headline the night. One set featured a simulated boxing match - I designed and fully rhinestoned custom boxing round cards to add drama and beauty to the performance’s pacing.
