INCANTRIX PRESENTS

CARNEVALE DI OSCURITÀ

Artistic Statement

Carnevale di Oscurità was a highly collaborative production that involved a huge number of incredibly talented artists. The show was conceived to be an intersection of game, scripted, and unscripted elements, creating an immersive and highly interactive world that encourages the audience to take an active role in solving the mysteries of the carnival presented by the cast of characters— each themed after a Major Arcana card of the Tarot. Several interwoven storylines intersect throughout the course of the evening’s events, and audience participants must earn their invitation to stay for the finale. The outcome of the final scene is determined by the influence of the audience’s choices, and there are three different endings to the show.

Max Metzger says:

“Combining burlesque, puzzle hunts, mysteries, acrobatics, and both traditional and interactive theater - Carnevale di Oscurità was an amazing event, one that continued to surprise me through the night. Anyone who just sat and enjoyed the show would be thrilled, but there was so much more to discover by interacting with the performers - each character had clues for the greater mysteries, but also their own personality and perspectives.”
