On 31 October, BAR x returned to Thoravej 29 with A Cursed Cabaret — a performance night that opened the gates to the afterlife and gave free rein to the souls lingering on the other side.
A Cursed Cabaret unfolded as a haunted variety show where thrills and laughter intertwined, and where those we fear were given a voice through creepy stereotypes, quirky characters, songs, and grotesque tableaus. After the performance, DJ_BOO_GIRL took over the night and kept the crowd dancing, while Vio Rossi offered free face painting for those wishing to join the spectral scene. The audience was encouraged to come dressed up — though it was entirely optional, unless one wasn’t afraid of being carried off to the realms of the dead… forever.
A Cursed Cabaret is produced and initiated by Sigrid Lerche, created in collaboration with Josefine Struckmann, Alba Greve, Carla Viola Thurøe, and Nicolai Risbjerg.
