The company behind the nightmare

ElektroBotz.

A Los Angeles performance company where dance, character and visual storytelling collide. Nightmare Alive! is our most ambitious original stage production yet.

Built in Los Angeles

Characters that move before they speak.

Elektro Botz creates performance through movement, theatrical character and a sharp visual point of view. The company’s work is made to read from the back row, with silhouettes, formations and physical choices that tell the story before a line of dialogue is needed.

For Nightmare Alive!, that language expands into a full evening of original choreography, elaborate costumes, cinematic lighting and a cast of twenty-five to thirty performers.

Experience across live entertainment

Why Nightmare Alive?

Halloween rewards imagination.

It lets costume, movement, sound and character become larger than ordinary life. Nightmare Alive! takes that freedom seriously while keeping the night fun, communal and unmistakably theatrical.

It is independently created and produced in Los Angeles.
