Directed Live Art Performances
Live Art, Dance, Alternative Gaming

Blending live art, pole and contemporary dance with non-linear storytelling, Nullspace Motel immerses audiences into a fractured road trip with a bio-digital being named Ish. The game on screen and romance between the two dancers on stage unfold like fragments of the same collage, sometimes overlapping, sometimes drifting apart, building a reflective landscape. What emerges is never the same twice, and never fully knowable.
Audience members take turns to play philosophical mini-videogames that probe identity, memory, romance, power, and the queer gaze - Nullspace Motel reimagines virtual and videogame concepts within a live, sensorial environment.
As lines blur between performer and participant, real and unreal, Nullspace Motel asks, what does it mean to exist and how much of ourselves remains unknown?
Nullspace Motel is a parallel story to Highway to Infinity.
