The party:
Discover a circus long lost, with music from times gone by or times that never were: Sxip Shirey (impossible music on improbable instruments), Kim Boekbinder (murderous waltzes to epic pop ballads via voice, guitar, looping pedal and a bag full of mystery), Stav Meishar (ukelele meets Shakespeare). The circus unfolds to live bands and in between, in a 19th century church with soaring ceilings, stained glass windows and wraparound balcony. Expect art installations, curious sounds, unexpected diversions, and a grander-than-usual touch of magic. DJ Joro Boro bridges the dust of Burning Man with the sounds of a rogue Slavic circus to make you dance late into the night. Play the Anywhere Organ: a mobile, open source, midi controlled pipe organ. Live screen printing by The Bushwick Print Lab. Fanciful body art by Painteresse Elysabeth. Vintage portrait studio by Steven Rosen. Photo-op custom art installation with work by Molly Crabapple. First 50 RSVPs to arrive get one-of-a-kind Temple buttons.

Dress code (required): dark cabaret, traveling circus, steampunk Victorian, neo-tribal, desert wanderer, Edward Gorey, Tim Burton, Mad Max, City of Lost Children, inspired cocktail-meets-club attire. No casual wear.

"Take a Tim Burton film. Now make it darker (if possible) and sexier (yes, please)...in a stroke of maniacal genius, [G&S] are bringing steampunk fantasy to life" - The Village Voice. "A late-night extravaganza...where the big top and cabaret collide" - The New York Post. "Grown-ups can mingle with fire-breathers and live out their big top fantasies " - TimeOut NY
