History is littered with doomsdays that have come and gone. The end of humanity seems to hold a morbid curiosity for people; a combination of grim excitement about how civilisation might die out, and thoughts of our personal demise. 

The existential crisis is no longer a mere distraction but a looming threat. We grasp to understand and preempt the myriad scientific speculations that human existence will end; it is just a matter of how and when.

Enter the world of de-generator. You share this world with our storytellers, who find themselves alone, destitute and desperate to find meaning in their own post-apocalyptic nightmares. Hunting through their personal histories and stories, they battle to find solace in a world stripped of everything they had once appreciated, loved and desired.   

This original dance installation places the audience at the centre of a black hole, with the dance action taking place around and through them. It holds a mirror to our fascination with the macabre, with throwbacks to the Adam and Eve story and the notion of re-beginnings. It asks audiences to activate their fear - of the future, the unknown, the end - and consider their accountability to the disintegration.
