Our first performance, Houseworld, made its debut in 2014. In Houseworld, guests enter an old house and step inside a dream. The basement embodies the underbelly of the psyche, while serenity radiates on the upper floor, and a playfulness inhabits the floors in between. One locked door in the house has never been opened. This door is said to lead to The Light. Due to the arrival of the outsiders, the house’s residents believe that maybe tonight is the night that the door to The Light will finally be unlocked.
One of our favorite documents of Houseworld is our lyric video for Tidal Wave Town. This song was originally written for Houseworld and was also prominently featured in Bottom Of The Ocean. Our lyric video is made of footage from equal parts Houseworld and BOTO.
