A marvellous and mysterious event...a Halloween celebration of the extravagant and the grotesque...an all-night spectacle of atmosphere, costumery and diverse entertainments...an explosion of live music, dancing, circus arts, fire and late-night revelry, snake-charmed into an absinthe-fueled early-morning speakeasy.
With:
- Alien monster puppet funk band BIG NAZO
- Exotic Balkan rhythms by Raya Brass Band
- Victorian music box mix, toy piano mayhem and Jank! circus techno by Sxip Shirey
- Virtuosic human beatboxing by Adam Matta
- Trippy psychedelic funk by The Stepkids
- A demonic dance floor by DJs Joro Boro & Reaganomics
- Dreamy dance interlude by The Love Show
Plus:

- Fantastical face & body painting by Painteresse Elyzabeth
- Mystifying silver film likenesses produced in front your very eyes by Tsirkus Fotografika
- Spine-tingling art by Blood Dumpster Collective
- Light circus extraordinaire by Norm Francoeur
- Frighteningly accurate fortunes told by practitioners of the occult arts
- Bone-chilling collections in the cabinet of curiosities
And for the daring few:
- Absinthe and other mind-altering potions by The House of St Eve (yes, t.h.o.s.e. cocktails...)
Some reviews of last year's Masquerade Macabre (this year's is bigger and better): "Late-night absinthe-fueled revelry, with dancing, circus arts, and a Victorian-inspired dress code." - The Village Voice. "Denizens of the night...down absinthe until the sun rises." - TimeOut New York. "Absinthe-fueled debauchery." - Paper. "Vintage-inspired spectacle." - New York Press. "...collection of artists who revel in all things exotic, sensual and creative." - Examiner
Costumes required. Inspiration: macabre carnival, aberrations of nature, cabinet of curiosities, dark Victoriana, evil funhouse, Jan Svankmaier & Brothers Quay films, Freaks, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Think dark & creepy.
