Towering high above the 2019 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival sits a massive wooden rocket. As tall as the Mercury Redstone-3, the first rocket to carry an American into space, you’d be surprised to discover this rocket wasn’t built by NASA, SpaceX, Virgin Galactic or any of the major players in the Southern California aerospace industry. This particular rocket was designed, built and run by hippopotamuses.

H.i.P.O. -- Hazardus Interstellar Perfessional Operations -- is the brainchild of the Los Angeles art duo Dedo Vabo. The installation is the culmination of a year's worth of work. The 8-story rocket, launch tower and surrounding platform acts as a medley of different artistic mediums, all mashed together into a massive performance art installation that defies explanation. Inside, performers dressed as lifelike hippopotamuses, bang on rocket parts, build warheads and conduct experiments. The show runs uninterrupted, for 12 hours a day, and takes place on every inch of the installation. This allows viewers to navigate around the piece and always see something different happening inside. It is an unending ballet of chaos and comedy.
