"Apathy-Rise" Niche Trio (ft. Pierre Janssen) / "Deadlines" Niche Trio

“Apathy-Rise,” a parody of Coldplay’s Paradise by Niche Trio featuring Pierre Janssen, humorously explores existential themes from The Stranger and Antigone. It contrasts Meursault’s indifference with Antigone’s defiance, highlighting their opposing responses to absurdity and fate. Janssen’s feature adds commentary on their shared tragic outcomes, blending humor with literary insight. “Deadlines,” a parody of Drake’s Headlines, similarly examines existential struggle and inevitability in both works. Through clever wordplay and philosophical reflection, Niche Trio (Tysei Murao, Felix Janssen, Gabriel Reque Cruz) delivers an engaging and concise take on these timeless tragedies.

What's Going On?

​The audience is taken through a range of years through archival footage exploring the ups and downs of our lives and the thing that connects us all, love. Seven interview subjects: a philosophy professor, a film professor, a humanities professor, a retired lawyer turned archivist, a volunteer, a dance student, and a fashion student, explore their backgrounds with religion, their current personal philosophies, whether or not they believe we have a purpose, or if the things we do have any meaning at all. Eventually everything wraps back around to love.
