Haus of Dust

Enter into the world of The Abysm, a quaint space located somewhere between here and the beyond, where you will encounter the spirits of those who reflect upon their time spent on this Earth. This one of kind immersive installation experience will be presented with all social distancing guidelines in place, creating a world where you can be absorbed into the Haus of Dust.

Haus of Dust is a new coming-of-age fantastical docu-mixed media installation by Gabriel G Torres.

The story follows a young man, G, writing a story about eight spirits meeting in a bar called “The Abysm”. In this bar, spirits and souls gather to release their last words before they can move into the afterlife. G writes this story to learn how to cope with his personal journey as an immigrant, a gay man, and a substance user. The story touches on themes of trauma, violence, spirituality, grief, sacred South American plants, and finally, overcoming with resilience.

This is the first component of a multi-year, multi-disciplinary campaign created to support Queer Latinx communities struggling with substance abuse. Working with a vast group of social workers, neuroscientists and queer community leaders in NYC, the project will be activated through three central objectives:

a virtual and onsite immersive theatrical experience that explores drug addiction, trauma and recovery through a Queer Latinx lens.
an online game, with the goal of being turned into an app, which will provide resources, data, and personal stories with substance use, intended to connect with People of the Chaotic Period’s target demographic and destigmatize conversations surrounding drug use in the community.
a garden installation built inside of Loisaida, Inc. where POTCP will not only host a variety of outreach events, but it will also function as a therapeutic and educational greenspace.
