// EVENT THESIS //
The enigma of secret societies unfolds again – festally, beneath lunar umbrage of nocturnal hours. Some rites only gain in flavor with age: this year, this affair unfolds at a nearly century-old establishment. Intimately – in the company of only 50 – deeper we immerse, cascading our way into a vast, interactive multimedia milieu of art and revelry…
Dress your quaintest, wear that ceremonial headdress, mask or veil your eyes, and swoon into the bizarre underworld of illuminati – the masterminds lurking in the dark, lightsomely pulling the strings of power. Flaunt your shadow persona – Vampire Elite? Victorian Sorceress? Psychedelic Shaman?.. Let your imagination guide you.
Get smitten by risqué vaudeville, sublime sonic and visual atmosphere, exhilarating, participatory flow of performance disciplines, fusion of the classical and hi-tech, interactive art media, and more! Tonight, we, free spirits, eccentrics, creatives, thinkers, doers and makers, convene for a vivacious tribute to life's grand mysteries. Let us co-create, dance, play, make this earth reverberate far and wide with our zany, savory, fantabulous vibes!
E Tenebris Lux!
