Exploring love in the age of AI, this cosmic, sexy and visually spectacular fever dream from Joana Nastari and Dre Spisto (50 Ways To Kill A Slug) will leave you laughing, swooning and slightly unhinged – showing as part of PAPAYA Fest 2026
Two ancient, shimmering demi-gods dripping in celestial gems. Grinding on desert landscapes. Needing to feel sexy like their lives depend on it.
A Seed Commission by BAC about the celestial wreckage relationships leave behind – not the person you lose, but the myth you built around them. Moving between ASMR seduction, burning stars and AI boyfriends, Dre and Jo ask whether technology is rotting our ability to love. Whether the most transcendent experiences life has to offer are the ones that shatter us. Did we ever agree to this modern love? Or do we all just need to be torn apart?
One night only. For anyone who’s ever attempted love in the wrong century.
“A fantastic gift for capturing the full sensory experience.”
