BATTY'S HIPPODROME: An intimate evening with Portland's finest Victorian lowlife circus troupe, Batty's Hippodrome, to welcome authoress Carolyn Turgeon from the Endless Road and highlight her readings with complementary performances. Ms. Turgeon's new novel, Rain Village, is a dark fable redolent in the finery of the big-top; so her friends in the circus underground have gathered in each town she visits to perform in her honor.
Already signed on—juggler extraordinaire Rhys Thomas, wandering burlesque chanteuse Veronique Chevalier, noise and performance by Lana Guerra's Power Circus, and several more.
First gaining underground notoriety for her work in the media of hair, make-up, paint, ink, and fabric; Lana Guerra won the admiration of noise-heads the world over as one half of the duo Cthulhu is Sex. Playing solo as Power Circus, Ms. Guerra wileds an array of homemade analog synthesizers and circuit-bent electronics with subtle expressiveness and nimble ferocity. The result is a shifting tide of sound, a living vastness birthing waves which rise and crash violently within a placid whole.
