It appears as a celebration of unity, but beneath the surface, it critiques the seductive influence of propaganda, blind faith, and groupthink.

The experience unfolds in three acts:

The Call – Introduces the promise of collective transform action.

The Binding – Deepens connection through hypnotic rituals, forming a shared identity.

The Release – Shatters the illusion, revealing the power of individual agency.
