HYPERFANTASIA is a sci-fi fantasy cabaret about the proliferation of matter in the universe and life on planet Earth. Featuring original music and projections, this miniature epic draws on new evolutionary theories and ancient queer wisdom to dismantle the survival-of-the-fittest paradigm toward an ethic of abundance and extravagance. Hosted by Tiresias, the blind prophet of the Underworld, HYPERFANTASIA includes a reenactment of the Big Bang as a celestial orgasm, a heartfelt ode to our prehistoric unicellular bacterial ancestors, and a dance choreographed using movements of birds-of-paradise during mating rituals.

HYPERFANTASIA is the first in a triptych that includes CRYPTOCHROME  and UNDERWORLD. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to whoistiresias@gmail.com for bookings and enquiries.
