Event Theme: Winter Fire in Wonderland

Climb down the rabbit hole with us on a journey to Wonderland. This year’s theme is based on “Alice in Wonderland” and we are going to have a ball as we descend into whimsey and madness.

“Off with their cocks!” or was that heads … who cares … either way the good times will roll. The Mad Hatter, White Rabbit, and the rest of the gang will be easy fodder for our perverted pleasures.

The details are very far from complete… special events, workshop tie in, performances are still being finalized. But “We’re late, we’re late” and registration must open now!

But you can do more than just bring your favorite costume. If you have a fun idea, why not submit it as an Ion and help us make the magic happen. Check out the Ion Submission Form for more details on how to really become part of all the fun!

2024 Events – Under Construction

We have only just started to pull all our great events for Winter Fire.  Below are just a few of the things you will see at the event with loads more that are still under development.  Check back soon for all the great things we will be doing.

 

Rachel Lark’s Rabbit Hole Cabaret

Follow sex-positive rockstar Rachel Lark down the rabbit hole for a sideshow cabaret that will feed your head and blow your mind. Critically acclaimed while unapologetically low-brow, Lark’s performances are a hilarious and delightfully disorienting mix of heartfelt, raunchy, and brilliant. Rachel is a kinky, polyamorous, queer musician who celebrates pleasure in her folk punk songs about sex & relationships. Imagine a cross between No Doubt and Bo Burnham, if they met in a dungeon. Lark is the creator of Coming Soon, an acclaimed rock musical about one woman’s quest to stop faking her orgasms. Featured on The Savage Lovecast, Bawdy Storytelling, and The Dildorks, Lark has “become the poster girl for period sex” according to Salon.com.

Rachel Lark brings her legendary wit and a crew of talented sideshow performers to Dark Odyssey for a raucous cabaret that is not to be missed!
