-Worshipping at the altar of musical icons passed.
Popular musical culture operates as a form of religious practice within contemporary Western culture.
As deified ‘gods and goddesses’ worshipped by their fans, and as a preacher leading their audience like a congregation. These musical juggernauts used popular iconography to blur the distinctions between spirituality and sexuality, the idealised performer and the real world, the sacred and the profane, and the human and the divine, in-turn cementing their immortality and resonating with generations to come!
If music is your religion, here’s how to worship…
Welcome to 'Cabaret Voltaire' an evening of avante-garde art and performance, inspired by cultural musical icons / Aestheticism and the essence of 'l'art pour l'art' (art for art's sake).
This juxtaposition of imagery, dreams and fantasy will be delivered through an explosive night of drag / burlesque / performance art / live art and music!
