a2 company brought their groundbreaking theatre work Running into the Sun to Wānaka in 2025 and sold it out, Motion Sickness, the pulse-racing follow up show is coming to the Mount Aspiring College Theatre for one night only and there are very limited tickets!
Come and charge through the potential cosmic ends of the universe with us.
This is an hour of urgent electronic music performed live by Toby Leman (Earl Green, HUMMUCIDE, Revulva), and a sharp new text written and performed by Ben Ashby. It's an existential crisis at the rave, it's a cathartic hour of fear, rage and hope, scored by an overwhelming and hypnotic AV design by Asha Barr.
Take a second to think about the ever-expanding blackness of space, about the vastness of the deep ocean. Consider that human history is only 0.007% Of the earths history.
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 it might be closer than you think.
To be a tiny part of a massive universe is not the same as being insignificant.
