GET LOST AND FIND YOURSELF IN THE GREAT BEYOND…
a 3-day experience dedicated to Techno and House music. Sometimes less is more: The Great Beyond will focus on a tighter, communal experience by emphasizing fewer stages and shorter walking distances. We'll go through this together, and strengthen standing relationships, or create new ones along the way. Rest assured, if things get too weird, you'll still have plenty of space to escape the madness.
3 STAGES OF PURE DEGENERACY AND HEDONISM…
THE GREAT BEYOND. Our main stage focusing mostly on Techno & House.
META TA PHYSIKA. Highlighting various North American DJs, producers, and tastemakers.
OVER YONDER. Our "chill out" stage featuring the lighter, calmer variants of music connected to our culture.
BOUND SPACE
Bound Space is a recurring visual art show series and digital arts incubator focused on video and light art in all its forms. Bound Space is a collective of video and light artists based in Minnesota. Since 2021 through art installations, live performances, exhibitions, and VHS releases they explore the intersections of light, shadow, and technology. At The Great Beyond, BS curates spaces where dancers can pause to watch old movies, interact with CRT installations, and rest underneath pulsing ambient lights between their tents and the dancefloor.
