Adelaide Fringe. Ponydog Productions. Arhur Artbar – The Tarot Tavern. 24 Feb 2023
The Tarot Tavern venue upstairs at Arthur Art Bar is another world away from reality.
The tiny intimate space is festooned with dark coloured drapes, splashes of black and white, and intimately lit with fairy lights and candle lights. There are ancient tomes stacked about small tables. The music softly playing is melodic.
Designers Phoenix May, Amy Rose Jackson, Andi Snelling and Sound Designer Sophie Parker have spared nothing to create the most beautiful, entrancing environment for what proves to be an absolutely spell binding evening.
Tarot Master/Storyteller-Director Davey Seagle is a commanding, riveting, warm hearted, powerful presence in the room.
He guides his audience into the mystery of the story we will create though the Tarot cards we will chose.
Ever wanted to experience the feeling and fervour of myth-like takes in the moment? This is that experience.
Cards chosen, the choices made by the audience effect what happens to the world and characters inhabiting them. It is truly an epic thing to experience live in the moment!
Seagle is like a master storyteller from the most ancient of times. He strings together consequences; each card unleashing a tale of heroic, spiritually profound, dark and light mythical legend being told for the first time in history. It is indeed the first and only time it will be told.
That’s the great magic of this immersive experience. You walk away with a legend in your mind and heart that is yours and yours alone.
