Run away to the Carnival, where circus stars and sideshow queens, poets and daredevils, painters, playwrights, aerialists and food artistes concoct a heady mix of unforgettable entertainment under a handmade starry sky
From Finucane & Smith, the world’s pre-eminent purveyors of provocative variety and intimate spectacle, including the award-winning The Burlesque Hour, comes the surreal indoor Carnival of Mysteries. Inspired by some of life’s most profound mysteries, this complex, multilayered, seductive and wild artistic experience will leave Festival audiences begging for more!
Overhead, underfoot and throughout four extraordinary intricate sites, the Carnival of Mysteries seduces audiences with the work of 30 unique artists commissioned to respond to the Mysteries of Innocence, Passion, Mercy, Forgiveness and Love.
Behind the intricate hoardings of ‘Sideshow Alley’ intimate pleasure halls offer entertainments for one to ten people; in the gorgeous ‘Pleasure Gardens’ tables, chairs and refreshments curve around the walls and spectacles surprise throughout the night; in the hidden ‘Shrine’ the grand piano plays for those in a reflective mood; and in the jewel of the Carnival crown, the hand decorated ‘Tent Of Miracles’, a new show can be seen every ten minutes. This Festival experience will linger on in your dreams long after the Carnival is over.
