SYNERGY
An immersive and reverent night of kink as living art

What is SYNERGY
SYNERGY is sacred kink theatre. Intimate, charged, intentional.
Shadow, breath, rope, rhythm, surrender. A night that treats the body like an altar, arranged like a quiet spell you get to sit inside of.
We move through the ways bondage has shaped us, moving from what we endured into what we now choose.
Where we’ve been hurt.
Where we’ve felt devotion.
Where we’ve fought.
Where we reclaimed ourselves.
Where we now choose to yield.
Not a play party.
Not a dungeon.
A witnessing space.
You sit, you feel, you breathe.
All sound is live, conjured by Griffin V, shaping the entire experience in real time.
Meet Griffin V on FetLife and Instagram.
Some scenes may be explicit, always under structured consent.

Apparatuses of SYNERGY
Each piece stands as an artwork on its own, becoming a living installation once a body joins it. Arrive early if you want to see the craftsmanship before the scenes awaken them, and click below if you want to be inspired to perform.
All apparatuses for SYNERGY are hand-crafted by Iron Butterfly—welded, carved, sanded, and blessed by human hands.
They're available for purchase, and Iron Butterfly accepts custom commissions if you want something built for your body, your ritual, or your private altar.

Call for Performers
If you feel called to create a scene for SYNERGY, the performer application is open. You are welcome to draw inspiration from any of the apparatuses listed above and incorporate them into your scene (some of them require training prior to use, which is available). All scenes should honor the container, the theme, and the consensual ritual tone of the night.
Call for Volunteers
If you want to help hold the container and are open to supporting front of house, safety, or backstage flow, the volunteer application is open. Volunteering includes free entry to the show.
Call for Vendors
We’re welcoming a small number of vendors whose work fits the mood of SYNERGY. Leather goods, ritual tools, sensual art, wearable pieces.
Curious about attending, creating, or just hanging out with us?
The Synergy Creative Munch is where we meet offstage, talk shop, swap ideas, and get to know the people who feel called to help shape the show. Come if you’re curious about creating, volunteering, performing, collaborating, or simply sensing whether you'd like to attend.
