Real Living Tarot. Risqué Performance. Roller Skates. Rock Opera.
Dare you enter Carnesky’s Tarot Drome?
From the creators of Carnesky’s Ghost Train comes an all new mind-blowing theatrical experience set in The Old Vic Tunnels.
Tarot Cards work. No one really knows why. The cards you pick at random act as a reflection of your innermost hopes and fears, reveal old wounds, historical personalities and speak of unknown futures.
What if you could meet the archetypes of the cards in the flesh? Understand immediately the symbolism they hold for you by meeting them face to face and taking part in performance rituals that lead you to extraordinary personal revelations?
Would you dare you peek behind the dark veil of the High Priestess? Frolic with the Fool or come toe to toe with the Devil? Have you ever wanted to dissolve the barrier between the conscious and unconscious and see what lies on the other side ?
Now is your chance! The cards have come to life! Carnesky’s Tarot Drome awaits you! You shuffle the deck by wandering through the dark subterranean recesses of The Old Vic Tunnels beneath Waterloo Station. Spectacular and surreal, veiled in mystery, shrouded in magic you choose your own unique performance experience.
This new large scale show sees Olivier Award winning performance artist Marisa Carnesky leading an extraordinary cast of ten cross disciplined performers stretching from contortionists to roller girls to rock and roll stars.
This is a dreamlike journey taking you through giant penny arcades where slot machines and laughing police-men have been replaced by life-size characterisations from the major arcana of the Tarot Deck. You will attend a bizarre lecture where you learn that your hold on the present might not be what you thought it was. Your future is delivered to you in the form of a rock opera on skates.
Tarot Drome is not merely a night out at the theatre but a disorientating montage of art and performance, music and silence, symbols and kitsch which is not to be missed or forgotten for a long time indeed.
