And Tonight No One Descends

Welcome to a world where suffering is currency, where trauma is art, and where pain is the ultimate proof of existence. In this surreal, gut-wrenching journey, a wanderer ascends a crumbling building, floor by floor, through a labyrinth of twisted memories and psychological wreckage.

Alongside them, a stranger hoards grotesque X-ray vinyl—warped, fractured, and prized for the sickness captured within. Each floor unveils a spectacle of decaying dreams, anxious stagnation, and the seductive lure of suffering as identity.

Inspired by the Jirai Kei phenomenon, And Tonight No One Descends is an experimental theatre piece which explores how pain is internalised and externalised in different ways. Will you watch from a distance, or will you recognise yourself in the wreckage? Through this journey, the play examines the universal struggle with trauma, inviting audiences to reflect on their own experiences with empathy and understanding.
