What drives us to excess? And what drives us to stop? 120bpm explores the hilarious comedy, uplifting joy, mind-boggling boondoggle, and the heartbreaking consequences that come with partying all the time, within the stunning imaginative visual framework of the blossoming 1990’s rave scene.

Saturday Night.  The bass beat all around you. The sweet smell of sweat and pot. People hugging, touching, clutching. Chasing cheap love from thirty dollar pills. The dance dies, night fades, lights on. Everyone looks so dirty. You enter into the morning. The sun sucking at your face. Smoke your last smoke. Sunday.

120bpm is a site-installed performance devised through a public play creation process with live DJ taking place at a Secret Warehouse Location near 2nd & Main. True stories taken from Vancouverites who participated in the cities all-night dance parties, club, and rave scenes form the core of this compelling magic-realist myth about the loss of innocence and the power of dreams.
