In the late 2020s, a rise in the commercialization of electronic music has led to the creation of so-called mega-clubs sponsored by big corporate entities with virtually limitless budgets and no regard for local club communities and cultures... . In time greed and predatory policies of these mega-clubs have led to a disturbing wave of community-owned club buy-outs and shutdowns. Some say these were all elaborate plans by the mega-corps to hunt down any competition. All we know is that KLUB LIMINAL has not been able to keep its doors open... . KLUB LIMINAL - is a project documenting fragments of time in club communities in their brightest moments as well as the dreaded afterlife... ."
about the Character: Natia, an art history student burdened by debt and clashing with her family over national politics, scrapes by with multiple part-time gigs. Life is far from perfect, often verging on dreadful.
But every Friday, Stella escapes to the pulsing heart of the rave scene. Alone in the strobing haze, she finds sanctuary from life's problems. The high decibels and pounding rhythms become a shield, offering a temporary reprieve from reality.
Is this pure escapism, or a form of therapy? Perhaps both. For Natia, and countless others like her, these spaces are essential for finding meaning amidst the chaos of existence.
