BODY AND BLOOD is a new immersive theatrical experience merging dance, theater, and nightlife. The story follows a ragtag, cultish group of '90s Club Kid-esque misfits who regularly gather in strange and alluring locales to engage in a series of peculiar rituals seemingly inspired by scenes from the Bible. The group has invited the audience into their space to bear witness to these rites, with the promise that at some point throughout the night’s proceedings, a true miracle will occur…
The "show" will be a site-specific experience inspired by the vibe and aesthetic of the ‘90s Club Kids but will simultaneously follow a narrative of (literal) Biblical proportions and explore the interpersonal dynamics between the members of this particular cult, all while celebrating the randomness, eccentricity, and "fabulosity" of '90s nightlife and Club Kid culture. The project is intended to exist as a hybrid between nightlife and theater that blurs the lines between fiction and reality and puts a deeply queer spin on some of the most theatrical stories from the Bible that are so widely known, studied, and debated.

We're aiming to produce another, longer workshop in early 2026 in order to further develop this thrilling new experience. By donating to this project, you're contributing to the future of immersive storytelling -- the sort of work that embraces the audience as active participants rather than passive voyeurs and dares to be wild, risky, bold, and original in both structure and content. We deeply appreciate your support, and we look forward to including you in the journey of this piece.
