Atlantic Boylesque presents Haunt Me Harder
Haunt Me Harder promises to be the most horrific, captivating, avant-garde and technically advanced production of the spooky season with a fully immersive multimedia experience featuring a projected light show engineered by WaskoAV?, an insane sound system and guest performances from some of Halifax's best performing artists. Months in the making, this wildly ambitious project will define Halloween 2023. The bad boys of burlesque are stepping out of their comfort zone, hopping the harbour and bringing their hilarious brand of excessively horny horror to a former house of gawd. Sacrilege has never been so sexy. This event will haunt you for a lifetime, but like in a good way.
