Oli Mathiesen with Lucy Lynch and Sharvon Mortimer present the award-winning 'The Butterfly Who Flew Into The Rave', an endurance-based dance work to the booming techno album 'Nocturbulous Behaviour' by Suburban Knight. Relentless movement, seamless without pause, detailed down to every beat.

The atmosphere and culture of a 3-day rave condensed into an hour. 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, as a victim to passion, as a victim to our endless desire to achieve more. To win and win again.
