      The Butterfly Who Flew Into The Rave is a high-octane celebration of movement, music, and stamina.

      Set to the iconic techno track Nocturbulous Behaviour by Suburban Knight, this relentless 60-minute performance compresses the energy of a three-day rave into one exhilarating hour. The trio of hardcore party people push their bodies to the brink — testing endurance, focus, and rhythm as they dance themselves into euphoric oblivion.

      Fresh from captivating audiences across Australia and completing an extraordinary 23-show season at the Edinburgh Fringe, this award-winning sensation returns home for a triumphant encore.

      Visually hypnotic and physically astonishing, The Butterfly Who Flew Into The Rave is both a love letter to rave culture and a profound act of physical storytelling. It’s an experience that celebrates the sweat, the pain, and the cathartic release of total surrender — to the beat, the moment, and the dance itself.

      Please note: Show contains haze, strobe lighting, and loud noises. Recommended for those aged 13+
