Ninajirachi presents Dark Crystal | National Art School

Enter a dream-state when electronic music artist Ninajirachi brings together a diverse and eclectic ensemble for this one-off, intimate live electronic music experience. Melding live vocals, electronic and DJ performances, this is where you’ll feel Australia’s most forward-thinking club, pop, electronic and dance music pulse through your soul.

Fans of left-field, hyperpop and future-facing sonic excursions, lace up your treads. The historic National Art School Cell Block Theatre is your destination for an intimate party prioritising inclusivity, joy, and wonder. All bodies are welcome and outward self-expression is celebrated.

Dark Crystal draws inspiration from an aesthetic and internet-culture fixation with dreamlike, surreal, hyperreal, uncanny, and nostalgic imagery referencing archived internet history and early-internet era memories, media, and animation. Weird and beautiful, like the music. Dark Crystal sees a plethora of such artists take to the physical stage, lit up by an array of lights and accompanied by a live VJ set.

“With a sound that embodies a rich, opulent atmosphere and a flawless touch in the studio, Ninajirachi is truly in her own lane. The Australian triple-threat producer, songwriter, and DJ has built a career that encompasses the spectrum of electronic music, garnering praise from critics and notable artists alike.” – triple j unearthed

Dark Crystal unfolds on Sydney / Eora Nation land, and 10% of net profits will be donated to Aboriginal Legal Services NSW.
