Summaries

The film follows a group of eight dancers as they enact ecstatic rituals in an attempt to access a new realm of consciousness with the potential to save humanity.

The film is set against a 1970s cinema vérité aesthetic, and draws parallels between the experimental spiritual gatherings of the '70s and the effect-laden release of contemporary hedonistic subcultures. It follows a group of 8 dancers as they enact ecstatic rituals in an attempt to access a new realm of consciousness with the potential to save humanity. As the second part of a trilogy of work which began with 2014's Quickeners, the work continues the Canadian artist's fascination with movement, altered states and transcendental experience.—The Vinyl Factory
