By embracing all evil, suffering, nightmares, and destruction, Collective The Paradise hopes to rediscover light in dissolution. Shrouded in darkness, they strive to reinvent humanity. Despite becoming experts in beautifying their world with interior designers, Instagram campaigns, and skincare routines in 2023, within each of us lies imperfect rawness, darkness, the complaining and bile-spewing human with a hot core full of pain and decay. Yet, the volcano’s ash is ultimately the most fertile, so we confront the fiery beast and dig through the earth’s crust, seeking HELL.

We enter the core that begins to rot, mold, stink, and decay, from which the grimmest ash gives birth to a new seed.

A raw, visual, cinematic performance where various figures emerge. We drag visitors from disgust to amazement, but also initiate the first glimmer of hope.
