The Paradise marks the beginning of FUNERAL ECSTASY, a series questioning the conventional notions of endings. Can we accept the fact that everything lasts only for a limited period of time? The Paradise urges us to reflect on the impact of the cyclical nature of life. Is it a celebration, a guided meditation, or a rave for the end?

The Paradise encourages heightened awareness of the present moment, emphasizing the value in each passing second. In a performative installation the audience is led through an ebb and flow, oscillating between darkness and light, intensity and tranquility; a collective experience, perceived individually.
