Lilith is the first feminist figure of the Judeo-Christian religions. She is the free woman; therefore, demonized, satanized. This is who I want to become. And we will celebrate – Mexican style: piñata, colors, blood/booze, occult, myths.

"of all the things I could do of an evening, is the thing I enjoy most. for the people, for the drugs, for the music, for the insanity"
"as much as it can be a very communal and sharing experience, it is also very individualistic"
"everyone wants to get in this state of getting lost into the dance"
"it is the nearest thing to kind of your church, it is to go to the club."
"the consumption of the drugs we take, usually 7 or 8, and it is bouncing so both your body and your mind are in the right situation"
"you want to really celebrate something, celebrate life and meet new people"
"they don’t call it trance music for no reason"
"to be in another world, to be with people and strangers and connect through a different form and dialogue - through movement"
"look at this crowd and they are all kind of moving at the same rhythm"
"without it there is no place where you can really be free and just kind of go and be in the same mood or environment as people"
"sometimes just closing your eyes and just feeling it, what the sounds do to your body and to your state of being"
"and you just feel each others’ rhythms and you create a dialogue through movement and you really speak to each other"
"I think drugs by… for me, for example, I like to say it is a shortcut to enlightenment"
"it is important to leave you bubble sometimes, to enter another bubble, the party bubble"
"but I think music taste says a lot about who you are and who you wanna be with"
"when you stand back and watch the party and feel those people having fun. you are part of it but you can also observe"
"to dance, to forget everything, to forget having a self, to see friends, to talk about stupid things -and serious- but more stupid"
"dancing. It was only about dancing"
"and it feels like music are like waves and they tututu are bouncing you from left to right…"
For ravers, the rave is community, expression, freedom & DANCE. The voices of my raver friends speak to you in this interactive documentary / VR experience. When you get close to them, you can hear their thoughts. I presented this in a happening, intertwining reality with virtuality.
