About
A BIPOC takeover of Raleigh Burlesque in honor of Black History Month, led by Babylon Mystère in their debut production. Join us—friends and allies—for a sensational night of revelry. Welcome to The Eyes Wide Shut Masquerade. We lust for the mystical and unattainable. We lust for the forbidden and the profane, words left unspoken. We lust for meaning. We lust for life.
This conjuring invites you into a realm beyond the senses—one occupied by ancestors before us, a realm only we can touch, like embodiment itself. At this threshold, there is much more than meets the eye. Expect an evening imbued with mystery and magic, explored through a Black lens, guided by powerful performers whose artistry is both sacred and electric.
Masquerade masks are strongly encouraged. Guests who arrive masked will be entered to win a special prize, and help set the tone for an evening rooted in mystery, anonymity, and revelation. Dress to impress and lean into the magic.
