This event includes: THE CARNIVAL - interactive performance installations and the collaborative work of 20 artists split into three major sections titled feti-feti, America!, & Aqu A* that sprawl across seven rooms of a basement and feature the work of 20 collaborators and performers. Along with installations that last the whole evening, there will be a series of performance vignettes that weave throughout the various rooms. Moving away from the typical tropes of Halloween which includes vampires, zombies, and the likes: HALLOWEEN CARNIVAL asks the audience / participants to explore and take risks by engaging with their real life hidden desires, inhibitions, and fears. * Aqu A* is a parallel dimension that exists on the opposite end of the black hole GCIRS 13E located at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. This dimension serves as a vacuum and recycling system for all of the physical and energetic garbage that is emitted from our collective existence on earth and other planets within the Milky Way Galaxy. In this dimension the audience will come to encounter a universe directly parallel to ours that includes landscapes and images never seen before that are simultaneously spectacular and curiously disturbing. This installation will take form as a unique guided experience stimulating all 5 senses in ways that are unfamiliar or not recognizable. This is a room from emotional release, contemplation, and exploration.
* America! explores the darker aspects of American history and modern lifestyle, demonstrating the hypocrisy that undermines American ideals, and asks the question, "What does it mean to be an American?" The participants can take part in a Water Boarding ride, meet a truly patriotic god-fearing man and wife, or gaze into the world of conspiracy theory among other events. For this room we are interested in the oddities that are unique to American culture.
* feti-feti lets the participants witness and explore a Pandora's box of sexual fantasies. This installation questions the idea of "perversion" and explores sexuality as a public experience (in a safe environment). Within the installation the audience can choose to be a voyeur, an exhibitionist - or both, be tied up by a dominatrix, or record their darkest sexual fantasy that will become a part of the sound score, among other *fun* activities. This room is the last main room that the audience enters and doubles as the party room
