The Ninth Annual Edwardian Ball
January 24, 2009
The Regency Center
The annual Edwardian Ball once again staged a fitting, San Francisco-style homage to the cartoon-Gothic writer and illustrator Edward Gorey with a riveting multimedia extravaganza of music, dance, video, art installations, and aerial acrobatics. Hosted by the postmodern cabaret combo Rosin Coven –a virtuosic orchestra of string slingers, horn players, percussionists, and singers– the quasi-Victorian dance party brought out hundreds of the city’s finest freaks and geeks, whose passion for Gorey’s urbane sense of the macabre matched their own child-like fancy for dress-up and play. As if competing with the acts under the spotlight, including the Bay Area’s world-class theatrical dance troupe Vau de Vire Society and L.A.’s high flyers Cirque Berzerk, many of the attendees showed off ingenious homespun costumes, inspired by the verses of “The Gashlycrumb Tinies,” the dearly departed guest of honor’s A-B-C book of whimsical ways to die. What follows is a tribute to both Gorey and the dynamic cultural institution his twisted vision made possible.
