Developed with international design students in Pula, Croatia, the project combined fieldwork, listening activism, and participatory production methods to explore the relationship between sound, labour, and contemporary service economies. Drawing on the histories of industrial music and workers’ culture, participants produced sonic “social documents” through field recordings, sampling, and live audio-visual performance. The project culminated in a series of public performances and a collective event that reimagined rave as a space for social inquiry, critical reflection, and shared experience. | Description: | Rave of the Ritualesque was a week-long workshop and public programme developed by Post Workers Theatre in collaboration with Metamedia Association and the Department of Visual Communications (UMAS), engaging design students from across Europe. The project examined the political potential and collective dimensions of rave culture, situating it within broader histories of resistance to the increasing privatisation and individualisation of social life. Drawing on the origins of Metamedia as a dance festival, the workshop explored the relationship between sound, labour, and industrial transformation. References included Detroit techno in the context of the decline of the U.S. auto industry, and industrial music practices such as Throbbing Gristle, which used the sonic language of work environments to confront economic and social change. These histories were used as a framework to investigate Pula’s transition from an industrial centre—exemplified by the Uljanik Shipyard—to a service-based economy characterised by precarious, seasonal labour. Participants engaged in fieldwork and listening-based methodologies, collecting recordings across the city in response to the prompt “What does hospitality sound like?”. These materials formed the basis for an intensive collaborative production process, where participants developed skills in sampling, modular synthesis, digital editing, and foley-based sound design. Through this process, participants constructed “sonic social documents” that articulated the contradictions and lived experiences of contemporary labour conditions. The workshop culminated in five group-developed audio-visual performances presented at Club Kotač, combining field recordings, interviews, found-object instrumentation, and dance music structures within a live theatrical framework. The public programme concluded with a collective event and afterparty featuring local DJs, extending the project’s exploration of rave as both a cultural form and a site for social engagement. The project foregrounded participatory design, collective authorship, and performance as methods for investigating and reimagining shared socio-economic realities. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/36353 | Rights: | © Post Workers Theatre, 2024 | Type: | Performance | Affiliation: | Birmingham City University | Funding: | Metamedia Association, Pula, University of Split – Arts Academy (UMAS), Department of Visual Communications | Publication Type: | Selected Artwork | Participation: | Festival |
