The veil grows thin. The portal opens. A third -TOPIA unfolds across three realms of sound, vision and movement. In this fleeting world between worlds, becoming is the only way through. Dive headfirst into an exploration of the inbetween, the liminal, and the imagined.

【 -𝙏𝙊𝙋𝙄𝘼 】

The -TOPIA experience returns for its third year: this time, a multidisciplinary meditation on existence and what lies beyond. Marking the third festival and ninth installment of Tessellate Club’s art and music series, -TOPIA will once again transform the Abbotsford Convent into a living canvas of sound, performance, art and play.

Surrender to transform.

Unravel to become.

Supported by Abbotsford Convent
