The extravagance of 1770 rococo Paris meets the eclecticism of 2009 underground New York nightlife.

Think Amadeus, Marie Antoinette, the Marquis de Sade, etc...   but with a thoroughly modern twist.

 

This 4th installment of the Party will feature burlesque, spectacles, hula hoop acrobatics, magic, juggling, baroque “makeovers”, fortune telling, and live techno baroque and rococo rock music.

 

Powdered wigs, powdered faces, candelabras, masques, and big hair will all abound in the most baroque ball since the guillotine came down!
