SOLD OUT: Fire Ball X: Apocalypse
Patricia Nightshade Wilson
Apocalypse is the 10th and last installment of this major annual alternative performance event. Equal parts classy and nasty, Fire Ball features a diverse array of performers from throughout the Midwest and beyond. The bill includes locals such as burlesque performer Mercury Stardust and Cycropia Aerial Dance, Chicago’s Strongman Tulga and Mr. Spring, horror artist Red Rum (pictured) and opera soprano Holly Flack. Costumes are encouraged; whether your attire is formal or fetish, audience participation is half of the hullabaloo.
press release: The end is nigh! "Fire Ball X: Apocalypse" will heat up the night for one final installment on Saturday, January 27, 2018, at the Majestic Theatre.
IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD. So let's dress up in killer outfits and celebrate with some of the finest burlesque, drag, acrobats, fire dancers, and more!
