Ninth wave
What do you do when the world is ending?
Party like it’s 1999!
Ninth Wave unfolds like a scene from Inception, with startling and beautiful images taking us ever deeper into the eye of the storm. Entwined with an original score composed by Regurgitator’s Ben Ely this dance on a smoking volcano is the party to end all parties.
Sitting on the edge of the sand you face out to the sea and the vast performance space of the beach, littered with half-buried cars and other detritus. You watch on as a party bubbling over with champagne-drinking fools wilfully ignores the warning signs of the end of the world.
“innovative, vigorous and cleverly contrived, with visions that will haunt you.”
