IFAM intends to use Behemoth and Leviathan in an upcoming performance run at Collective: Unconscious, "Behemoth versus Leviathan". The piece will combine body puppets (the Behemoth and Leviathan costumes), large scale puppets, Suzuki based theatrical movement, projection, and sound. "Behemoth versus Leviathan" is inspired but a story in Jewish Aprochrypha which tells an epic battle at the end of time. The piece will attempt to recreate the ambience of Godzilla and Naked Lunch in an onstage battle that will include xenobiological copulation.

"Behemoth versus Leviathan" is set in the Zhashack Autonomous Zone, a "Beeblepublic" once located in the Soviet Union and now accessible only from certain places, such as Bokhara, Uzbekistan, and Reading, Pennsylvania.

Behemoth and Leviathan are constructed of industrial refuse from Kings and Ulster Counties, New York, along with debris found on the North Brooklyn waterfront.
