The Carnival of Mysteries

Rachel and I went to the fundraiser for Finucane and Smith‘s rather wonderful Carnival of Mysteries on Thursday evening.  It is precisely one month until the carnival is launched as one of the Melbourne Festival‘s major shows.

It will come as no surprise to anyone who knows Moira Finucane that the evening as rather spectacular, very entertaining and a lot of fun.  You were never quite sure what was going to happen next – from Toni Lamond belting out ‘Show Business’ to  Maude Davey hosting the auction nude apart from a few feathers and some stars on her nipples.

And what were we doing there?  We have sponsored the show by donating our time and expertise to design a rather special lighting feature for the Tent of Miracles; the centre piece of the carnival.  I can’t reveal too much more right now so if you are intrigued I guess you’ll have to get yourself down there to check it out – launch is 8 October at 45 Downstairs.
