How do the reckless abandon of the rave and 16th Century Saint Teresa of Avila’s violent raptures with angels intersect? And what might it look, feel and sound like for the mystical pageantries of Christian liturgy and queer performance to enmesh? These encounters, and others, take place in the solo stage show Ecstasy, an adaptation of the album of the same name by vocalist, producer and performer Marcus Whale. 

Building on a palette of sounds from the thunderous sub-bass frequencies of high-BPM rave music to the ecclesiastical tones of choral drone, Ecstasy unfolds as a choreographic investigation into ekstasis, the state of being “outside oneself”, a name for experiences in which the boundaries of the self, of inside and outside, become troubled or broken down. Live, loud, visceral and taking place in the round, Ecstasy stages a reach into the seductive void that exceeds the limits of the knowable.

Duration:
