Purgatory Heaven & Hell® 2026 Shibari by Knotty Situations

Several guests in the past have asked if we have ever considered having a Shibari at the events. What is shibari? Shibari is a Japanese art of rope bondage, a practice of using rope to artfully and aesthetically bind a person's body. Modern Shibari emphasizes aesthetics, trust, connection, and often has an erotic component. It involves a "rigger," the person who ties the rope, and a "model," who is tied. At this past year's Purgatory, we were approached, and for those interested, please read below. 

Hello! I am Knotty Situations! I am here to bring some rope outfits to Purgatory. 

I will be bringing 5 colors that are UV, pink, green, yellow, orange, and blue. The blue does, in fact, shine under UV light, but since blue is on the UV spectrum already,  it isn’t as bright. I will also have my personal bag of rope that is and isn’t UV to use if you’d rather something out of there!
