On the site of the old Bedlam hospital, where crowds once gathered to mock the crazies, rose a Masonic tabernacle, home to clandestine gatherings and arcane rituals. Fallen into disuse, walled up and derelict, the Grecian Masonic Temple at Liverpool Street lay bereft and forgotten for decades. This summer A Curious Invitation and the East End Film Festival will return to the marbled splendour of the City’s only original Freemasons’ lodge for a macabre night of cabaret, circus and cinema.
Alejandro Jodorowsky's SANTA SANGRE
The night will begin with a special screening of Alejandro Jodorowsky's avant-garde horror film Santa Sangre, the surreal odyssey of a young circus performer who shuns the mental asylum in a macabre reunion with his arm-less mother.
MASONIC TEMPLE
Built in 1912 by Charles Barry Jr, the son of the architect who designed the Houses of Parliament, this Grecian Temple is an opulent chamber of marble and gilt adorned with bronze lanterns and a pair of mahogany thrones. Freemasonry is one of the world's oldest non-religious, non-political organisations; an institution steeped in ceremony and ritual. In recognition of these traditions, the ball will host a theatrical show which plays homage to the rites of passage and lore of this secret society.
THE HALL OF THE GRAND ARTIFICER
Step into this opulent chamber of marble and gilt adorned with brazen lanterns and a pair of stately mahogany thrones to be regaled by:
HEAVY METAL PETE: sword swallower, whip cracker, sideshow performer, pyrotechnical artiste - never a stranger to danger.
COCO DEVILLE: fierce, playful neo-burlesque superstar. A mercurial minx, a teasing tiger. She moves with feline grace, but has a sting in her tail.
NATHAN & ISIS: acrobatic duo who stretch balance, poise, agility and trust to their limits with their gravity- and logic-defying stunts.
THE CRYSTAL CHAMBER
Six storeys of glass atrium will be filled by CHIVAREE CIRCUS with aerialists, acrobats, stilt walkers, and other high-flying, death-defying artistes, including:
BECKY & TYRONE: denizens of the aerial realm will soar above your heads holding audiences and each other in spectacular suspense.
And earth-bound far below them will lurk TIM MAYNARD’s magnificent menagerie of snakes, scorpions, lizards and insects.
THE LOST WORD CABARET
Our compere beyond compare, BENJAMIN LOUCHE, the disreputable and aberrant Lynchean linchpin of the evening, will introduce:
MARNIE SCARLETT - deviant Diva, fire fetishist and couturier, writhing in her latest creation: a strait jacket.
LOLO BROW - Neo-Burlesque artist, sideshow performer, sparkly drag King and Lizard Lady
SNAKE FERVOUR - fire wielding, sword swallowing, snake charming, angle grinding, stilt walking, sideshow stunting.
CYNTH ICORN - purely perverted international heavy rubber model and fetish performer
BISHI - Anglo-Indian singer, pianist and sitarist will take to the decks to mix Eastern and Western avant-garde sounds.
THE DARK ARTS DRAWING ROOM
The origins of divination using Tarot cards lie in Masonic sects of the eighteenth century. ART MACABRE will delve into this veiled history of the occult and invite you to sketch a tableau celebrating the iconic imagery of the arcana of Wands, Cups, Swords and Coins.
