A Holiday Salon Through Song and Scene

This is Not A Performance presents a holiday fete in song and scene.

A playful reinterpretation of the Christmas tradition of "Lessons and Carols", come celebrate with a merry band of creatives and fellow attendees to meditate on who we are, how we are and what we are when the darkness--literal and otherwise--enshrouds the world as it does come Winter Solstice. We'll use an adapted version of Salinger's Franny and Zooey, interpolated with song and poetry, to explore the season's themes in a non-liturgical way.

Paradox being the essence of life, we'll journey together to remember--and I dare say rejoice in--this truth: that there is no up without down, no light without dark. Truth, in a very funny--sometimes vexing way--is oppositional yet united all at the same time. The solstice affirms this axiom as the shortest days of the year align with celebrations of light across cultures.

Thusly, this fete, this ritual, this practice will aspire to live (for at least an evening) life as art, in contemplative community. For how we spend our days (and nights) is how we spend our lives.

Tickets run 30-50 dollars but a limited amount of free tickets remain. Please message here or email hjcaracappa@gmail.com to secure on!
