A marketplace for the mind, an experience for the senses. Step into a vibrant, immersive performance set in a night market of the future where science and imagination come alive.
Bat Night Market tells the tales of the extraordinary bat species, examining their imperative nature in our global ecosystem and teaching us that conservation of this key species is more crucial now than ever before.
As audiences embark on this strange journey into a futuristic Asian night market, we are invited to explore through this immersive experience what interspecies resourcefulness and creative food solutions might look like, in the not-so-distant future.
Set in an imagined night market where bat species are extinct, Bat Night Market intersects performance, speculative design and science.
We invite visitors to celebrate these enigmatic animals in an evening of discussions, games, tastings, and sensory experiences.
