The Sleepwalker

Arts EN ↓ 10 episodes

This mid-rave feeling of being utterly present, devoid of any sense of time, place, or ego, is difficult to capture in a strictly representational art form. Documenting the rave is a tricky process. Raves are seen as one of the few places left untouched by big corporations, that often don't want to be named or publicized. Here, I give a voice to those who shape and sustain this scene, to delve deeper into the Montreal rave culture and unpack the complex dynamics of power, along with issues of identity, gender, race, and ethics that riddle a community that comes to life at dusk.

Ep.8 - Raving in the 80s - In Pursuit of repetitive Beats 07.03.2024

"It's 1989, and rave culture is at its peak in England. Illegal raves are organized all over the country, in abandoned warehouses and other isolated locations.
