Welcome to The Shapeshifters Realm—the immersive, magical, and wild art realm of Nexus. This is where we dive into interactive art that explores identity, sensuality, intimacy, and kink.
Here, art isn’t confined to observation; it’s an invitation to participate and experience deeply, in ways you choose.
While some events engage themes of sexuality, others delve into identity and expression at different levels, allowing you to select the experience that aligns with your comfort level. You can look forward to installations, performances, and exhibits that use sensory elements like visuals, soundscapes, textures, and physical interaction to evoke powerful responses. Each Portal is a standalone event, inviting you to explore and expand your understanding of intimacy, gender dynamics, and connection in a safe, consensual space.
In the Shapeshifters Realm, we open Portals. Each Portal is a unique immersive experience for our community, ranging from single-night events to our yearly festival, PlayTown. PlayTown was the first Portal we opened in 2024, and it remains our largest. Each year, roughly four Portals open, each a chance to experience this universe in new ways.
Playtown: Creating the town where our wildest selves come alive, together.
Playtown is a five-day, four-night immersive festival that takes place every year on the third weekend of July. 🗓️🌙 It’s a world we build together, weaving this year’s theme—“Fairy Scales and Dragon Tales” 🧚🐉—into every corner, creating a space where fantasy and desire intertwine. Step into a character, unleash your truest self, or play on the edge of both. 🎭🔥 This town pulses with the creative energy of artists, performers, producers, and organizers, each crafting daring spaces where our community explores expression, connection, and sensuality without limits. 🎨🌈
Our organizing team lays the foundation for Playtown’s most anticipated moments, including the Opening Ceremony, 🎉 the electric Main Event on Saturday, 🌟 and the deeply satisfying Closing Ceremony. 🌅
The Main Event draws us all together for an unforgettable night of passion, creativity, and uninhibited celebration—crafted to honor our theme and ignite the community’s spirit. 💃💫 With tantalizing experiences around every corner, the excitement is boundless—but space is limited. ✨ Apply now to claim your place in Playtown! 🌌🗝️
