Drunken Devil’s third annual horror-themed Mardi Gras soiree returns for an all new experience, transporting guests to the underbelly of New Orleans in Bloody Gras: Black Magic. Delightful, no?
As with any Drunken Devil event, this is as much immersive theatre as it is a reason to drink like a fish and watch burlesque dancers strut their stuff.
For Bloody Gras guests will be transported to New Orleans, circa 1984, and follow in the footsteps of Robert Benoit, a street busker whose dreams of becoming a world-famous magician are nearly realized when he sells his soul to the Devil. Unfortunately, he’s double-booked his soul, having promised it to a powerful voodoo priestess, Mama Conjure. Throughout the evening, guests will interact with Robert, Mama Conjure, members of Conjure’s voodoo coven, and the Drunken Devil himself—piecing together a twisted narrative as they find themselves in the middle of a battle for Robert’s soul…ultimately leading to a shattering, bloody finale.
As we mentioned, along with the storyline, attendees will enjoy craft cocktails featuring modern twists on classic New Orleans cocktails; tantalizing burlesque and variety acts featuring internationally-recognized performers; roaming conjurors performing phantasmagorical feats of magic; and a live hot jazz band that will bring the sounds of New Orleans to life. In traditional Drunken Devil fashion, the end of the night will see the flicker of a disco ball replace the theatrical lighting of the event, turning the horror Mardi Gras soiree into an ‘80s-inspired dance party.
