A multi-sensory immersive performance

Alyson Sillon explores contemporary techno culture, foregrounding its Black and queer origins through historical research, embodied practice, and ritual inquiry. "Before/After" transforms the museum space into a rave-temple structured around twelve transitional moments, guiding visitors through a cycle of personal and collective transformation.                                                                                                                

At its core, 'The Ceremony”  is a performative initiation: meditation and intention-setting lead to the creation of an alter ego as a vehicle for liberated self-expression. Through scent, breath, yoga-based grounding, and choreographic activation, the experience culminates in a club-inspired dance ritual. Techno emerges as a space of communal alignment, embodied memory, and cultural resistance.
