LONDON DECOMPRESSION
Docklands, East London
Saturday 15 November 2025
Tickets available to members only.
WHAT IS GOING ON?
The Man has burned, the dust has settled, and we gather to celebrate everything radiant and wonderful.
The night transforms into a temple of visions, where images fracture before your eyes like a prism shattering into infinite futures. Look through your inner kaleidoscope—What visions shimmer back at you? Somewhere under the rainbow, shards of light scatter like glass, colliding in joyous chaos and spiraling into bloom.
Step into the Kaleidoscapes and wander through a grove where every leaf is a mirror, every spore a spark of light, and every shard a future waiting to unfold. Open the door to a secret garden where roots whisper stories of nature reborn, as the undergrowth reclaims the night.
This is a carnival of radiance, where optical wonder takes root. The prism shatters, and the night itself begins again—not as you’ve ever seen it, but alive, like glass in motion, a wild celebration. A dream where chaos reigns and the imagination of all collides to form a dazzling new whole.
This is a sanctuary where perception bends and transforms, every bloom a reflection of what is yet to come. Step through the looking glass into this wilderness where nature, oracles, and lunacy entwine. Nothing stays still—identities dissolve, nothing is whole, everything scatters and recombines in luminous loops of becoming. Here, everything decomposes, transforms, and glows again.
Close your eyes… what do you see?

CO-CREATED MAGIC

CREATE
Focus on the figurative meaning of ‘kaleidoscapes’ and invite the creation of patterns, illusion and shape-shifting whilst delving into themes of authenticity and hidden layers of identity. Co-create the night—on the runway, the dance floor, round the fire—YOU are the night. YOU are the performance.

CONNECT
Step into the turning lens, meet the selves you didn’t know you carried, and take a joyous spin to the other side and beyond. Discover your hidden self and meet that in others. Take a chance.

CHANNEL
Music makes magic moments even more magical. Whatever else happens at Decompression, the beats are always there. Tune into centuries of carnival and rite; let ancestry, community, and mythology click into fresh tessellations as we dance.
AN INCLUSIVE SPACE

FOR EVERYONE
London Decom is explicitly anti sexist anti racist and underpinned by consent. This is unbelievably serious, and makes our events unbelievably magical.
Read the principles, learn them, they will show you the way.

A CHANCE TO LEARN
Revelry isn’t everything. Decompression is also a space where we get the chance to teach each other. Learn a skill, learn about yourselves, master something new in one of our workshops on everything from clowning to poetry to quantum mechanics.
