9-10pm – end-of-festival gathering

Hatched by Theresa Buchheister in 2014 and co-curated by Matthew Antoci & Jillian Jetton, this quarterly affair brings together artists, comedians, chefs, scientists, theologians – anyone with something to share in a DIY, low-stakes setting – in one delightfully unpredictable night. Presenters are asked to share something *at the edge* of their practice, and the resulting mixed-bill of micro-acts coalesces (loosely) around a theme… This season, that theme is RETRO / GRADE – as in: Mercury in, reverse/return/decay, level, assess … or??? Join us at Mercury Store to find out.
