Cuántica Rave

Directed by Paco Campano

In a decaying Universe of proliferating black holes, disillusioned youth escape their bleak reality through sonic drugs or by posing as robotic hikikomoris. A rumor spreads of a mythical rave beyond the cosmic microwave background, where cosmic rhythm and meaning are said to be controlled. Crooner-Boy (CB), a clumsy 40-year-old singer with a powerful voice, and Lena Ivkovic, a young activist, performer, and DJ, unite to find it. They convince Commander Plank, a narcissistic space traveler, to take them aboard his ship, the Discovery 2. Plank is on a mission vital to the Universe’s fate: finding a new home for an endangered cosmic species. Their paths collide as they struggle, love, sing, and explore space in Quantum Rave, a musical space opera blending humor, science fiction, action, relativity, and quantum mechanics, while playfully examining anthropocentrism, estrangement, and the role of art.
