About the show:
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.

What drives us to excess? And what drives us to stop? 120bpm explores the hilarious comedy, the uplifting joy, the 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.

Mott and Martin first began working together producing a legendary Vancouver underground after hours, The Space . For 120bpm they joined forces with Aidan Maxted, a graduate of SFU's School for the Contemporary Arts and ex-Vancouver Island Rave promoter. The values of that scene - love, compassion, generosity, have motivated and guided their artistic vision for Upintheair from its inception through to the present. In this sense, 120bpm is the show they have been working on since 1999. Don't miss it.
