Be My Florentine!

Still Wild, Still Threatened

Tasmania’s ancient forests are calling out to all artists, dancers, musos, freaks, circus mob, gypsies, burlesque beauties and performers of all persuasions to take part in the outrageously and spectacularly fantabulous Be My Florentine Cabaret (13-15 February 2009, the weekend after the Circus Festival). Join Tassie forest activists and magnificent gypsy death core 8 piece The Barons of Tang in a 3 day festival extravaganza held at a longterm blockade in the outstanding old growth forests of the Upper Florentine Valley, which are under immediate threat from industrial scale woodchipping interests.

Please contact us if you are interested in performing, working, cooking, installing fabulous art, building kissing boothes etc. at the third Be My Florentine Cabaret and also please forward this onto all your banjo strumming, sword swallowing, contortionist, tap dancing, aria singing, trapeze swinging, hilariously funny on stage kinda friends. If you would like to print out the flyer and stick it up around your neck of the woods, that would also be very lovely (there is a pdf with 2 flyers attached also for this very purpose). Then book a boat, and get down to Tassie’s jaw dropping forests for Summer. Details on the line up available closer to the date. Oh and apologies for any cross postings

For the forests and with love,

from all the mob at Still Wild Still Threatened.
