Departing Dystopia is an interactive, immersive, post-apocalyptic-themed cyberpunk theater-nightclub hybrid featuring displays and performances, including a live musical EDM rendition of Romeo & Juliet. The Hillcrest event will include performance art featuring elements of dance, satire, cabaret, and theater, choreographed with audience participation to a loosely scripted storyline and guided by a narrator-bartender whose tour will be accompanied by audio-visual textures.

Dutch DJ star Sam Feldt headlines this year’s Monsters Ball at Parq downtown, with other performers set to include D-SYFER-IT and DJ Elliot, as well emo/pop-punk tribute band Not A Phase. A haunted forest ballroom with a full-moonlit dance floor will include a glitter booth, hidden creatures, performance artists, and more. The Comic Con-themed event encourages fantasy and monster lore cosplay.
