This is an audio-visual experience about creation, fractured identity, and transcending physical form.
“Here I am again in darkness, but I won’t stop diving down this rabbit hole of existence. I want to feel, see, know it all. Hunting for truth, searching for a key to unlock this cage inside of me..”
Synopsis
The Everything Nothing is an immersive, interactive live show with music, video, performance designed to transport the audience into an ethereal space while exploring their own inner darkness and light.
This otherworldly, metaphysical tale follows Eve, the light source for a world called The Everything and her journey away from the light, as she confronts a shadowed place called The Nothing. To save her world from The Nothing, Eve discovers an ancient power she didn’t know she had that will change everything.

EVE
The beings in The Everything made of eternal light only knew abundance, so it’s not that they were selfish - it’s just that their light was too bright to see anything but themselves.
But one being, who called herself Eve, had begun to question the excruciating dullness of her exalted existence. She knew there must be more to life. She wanted to see and be seen. To feel and be felt. To be more than just consciousness.
It's time to wake up...
The Two Worlds
A light-driven world whose inhabitants live carefree within beautiful crystalline architecture.
Feeding off Eve's light, they have absolute abundance and have never known want.
A shadowed world inside of a vortex, that hungrily devours whatever it can. The Nothing’s only inhabitant, a formless dark creature desperately needs The Everything’s light and designs a plan to capture it.
He builds his own world and companion creatures made from metallic junk while experimenting on the occasional light being from The Everything sucked into the vortex.
Transcendence
Eve travels through different worlds and collects the fragments of her soul. Each fragment may represent one archetype of a woman.
A Heroine's Journey
We are born whole and then they journey, breaking, twisting, turning, separating, reconnecting, searching for that initial wholeness that can never be again in that incarnation.
STARMAN
Starman is the final chapter of the story. In this metaphysical love story set in a surreal landscape made of body parts and sacred geometry, Eve unites with her soulmate, Starman.
