RAVE NEW WORLD

Inspired by the vibrant rave scene of the 80s and 90s, Rave New World is a co-production with Tangled Feet that delves into the history of the Exodus collective, a pioneering group based in Luton’s Marsh Farm.

Whether you were a part of the scene, heard about the legendary parties, or are discovering Luton’s rave heritage for the first time, Rave New World’s themes resonate deeply today. It asks the question: how can the past inform our futures?

Following a rehearsed reading in October and a gig theatre version in November 2024, Rave New World is set to premiere with full production performances in March 2025. This outdoor show features a captivating soundtrack which aims to inspire a new generation facing societal challenges today.

Rave New World is part of Undercurrent, our creative heritage project that unearths and shares the rich history of activism and music subcultures connected to the River Lea.
