On Cockatoo Island, an industrial haven adrift from the mainland, Mode Festival resummons the faithful to a springtime ceremony of sweat and euphoria. Amid former boat sheds and wild blooms, we dance in sacred unity, casting off our former selves to the call of primal rhythms. Cross the waters, enter the embrace, and be remade in this new season of sound.
