MK ULTRA is a feast for the senses in our modern age of information and imagery overload. Updated for today dystopian reality of fake news, psych-ops and deep conspiracy theory, MK Ultra was pioneering for its time and visionary in its grasp of where we are heading. For 2024-25 we will be updating the show to reflect how the world has changed; MK ULTRA: The Great Reset.

Mixing Rosie Kay’s fantastical dystopian pop hybrid style, mind-bending video imagery, this intricately researched work explores the Illuminati and current conspiracy theory.

MK ULTRA is visually arresting with costumes from Lady Gaga designer Gary Card, a gold mirrored stage, hypnotic triangular projections by Louis Price and a pulsing soundtrack of US trap music blending with a mesmerising score by electro-acoustic composer Annie Mahtani.

Kay's choreography mashes up music video source material to create a thrilling new style expressed through seven characterful and highly athletic performers.

Examining a new mythology of our time MK ULTRA asks us what do we believe in now, if we believe in anything, and how this could affect our future.
