An Evening of Exquisite Misery
A Benefit for Abundance NC• Saturday, Full Moon, July 8, 8 until midnight:
A recreation of Gunter Grass’ “Onion Cellar” in a party we call Loss – An Evening of Exquisite Misery. A fashionable crowd gathers to chop onions at midnight, weep together and wallow in collective melancholy. The dress code is “decaying beauty’. Guests sob over portraits of deceased childhood pets and sign their divorce papers on stage, while bands strum dirges, on themes of spiritual gloom.
A Splendid Time is had by All. Join us at in a secret garden…..
