That’s the question posed by Outside the March’s new site-specific piece, R.A.V.E., part of the Luminato Festival, which presents from a “secret location” an interactive dance-party-cum-theatre-event that’s part bop, part therapy session, and part lecture on cultural consciousness. Presided over by The Founder (show creator DJ Me Time), the rave session promises to teach participants the dance moves and self-actualization lessons they need to reach their full potential, whereupon they will achieve a mysterious “upload” to a sort of spiritual cloud.
