The Soft Machine Productions' FLESH RITUALS & SIREN SONGS returns to Sydney in 2025 with a Rite of Opening for ASSFest S25 in collaboration with the Australian School of Sexuality.

Join us in an orgy of fetishistic performance art entwined with sonic mayhem to open the portals for the 10 day long erotic / education / experiential festival of ASSfest.

A night of creative collaborations where the lines between sets become blurred, a continual narrative that invites you into the flow, to move and dance in the chaos and let yourself be taken by the tides.

Additional lineup and collaborations to be announced…

ZCluster + Mistress Tokyo

Once again into the fires together, Industrial Gothic conspirators in aural carnality ZCluster team up with impeccable dominatrix and seasoned performer Mistress Tokyo to bind Sai Lillith in the circles of rope and sound; an ascent in Shibari suspension while they sing their invocations in a shared ritual of beautiful sufferance and endurance.
