Wanna get caught in a web of wonders & woes? Feel like giving up on, or giving into, the seductive burden of interconnectedness? Whether you yearn to be Close In or stay Far Out, the tendrils of our skewed realities await your notice.

Close In ★ Far Out

ICP Festival 2026

May 7-10

At venues across Portland

Join PETE’s 2025-26 ICP Cohort for a four-day festival of experimental performances May 7th-10th, devised & performed throughout the Portland-metro area. Wear your fancy dress to Leach Botanical for a grand reveal, muster up your endurance & courage for a double-header at PICA, kick off your shoes and dig your toes into the intimacy of a private house show, and pay homage to where it all began: at the PETE studio. Relationships will fracture & fuse, suffering will crack open connections, and rituals will bring forth transformation.
