The Butterfly Who Flew Into The Rave

The Butterfly Who Flew Into The Rave created by the award winning trio Oli Mathiesen with Lucy Lynch and Sharvon Mortimer is in Kingston for one night only all the way from New Zealand.

Condensed into 1 hour, feel the atmosphere, heat and intensity of a 3-day rave set to the adrenaline-pumping techno album ‘Nocturbulous Behaviour’ by Suburban Knight. The Butterfly Who Flew Into The Rave is an endurance-based dance work with relentless movement detailed down to every beat without pause.

Exploring the movement used in techno and rave culture, witness the destruction of 3 humans. Indulge in the pain, the sweat; a display of pure endurance to achieve a goal. A spectacle of the human body as a victim to music, to passion, to our endless desire to achieve more. To win and win again.

“It’s like firing a machine gun for an hour and remembering the name of every bullet.” reviewed Mark Harding for the Broadway Baby in August 2025.
