| Description |
The extravagance of 1770 rococo Paris meets the eclecticism of 2010 underground New York nightlife.
Think Amadeus, Marie Antoinette, the Marquis de Sade, etc... but with a thoroughly modern twist.
This 7th installment of the Party will feature burlesque, fire-dancing, sword play, feats of endurance, magic, juggling, spectacles, vocal cartooning, live art, and live techno baroque rock music.
Powdered wigs, powdered faces, candelabras, masques, and big hair will all abound at the most baroque ball since the guillotine came down!
