Info
Rave Baby is an absurdist puppet theatre performance in which a woman becomes so consumed by her love of raving that she literally merges with her gigantic ghettoblaster. Terrified that motherhood will mean the end of her rave life, she struggles to maintain control over her freedom, her body, and her life.
Even in the womb, Rave Baby can dance, rap, and shamelessly flirt with the outside world. While the mother fears that the party is over, Rave Baby has no desire to be born into the unreliable, cold, and unsafe world outside. Together, they become locked in an absurd struggle between holding on and letting go. Rave Baby is a high-energy performance that brings together pounding beats, performance art, and puppetry into a unique live experience. Direct, alienating, and playful — it is designed not only to be watched, but to physically draw the audience into the world of the rave.
