Days are dark! Light the fires of revolt! Melt the ice and harken spring! It’s the fourth annual Dead of Winter cabaret spectacular at the Rockwell in Davis Square. This all-ages event features:

• Haunting live music by the Velvet Dirtmunchers. Protest punk and Gothic Cabaret!
• Luscious text, spoken word. Poetry reading by Gregory Glenn aka THE MAY QUEEN.
• Humanist puppetry, movement, and mask by Sova Dance & Puppet Theater

An evening of interactive theater, song, and artful kinship to warm the cold winter’s night.

The Velvet Dirtmunchers are an all-original genre-bending band from Boston, MA featuring sultry vocals, squeezebox, and impudent (mouthy! hellacious!) horns.

Sova Dance & Puppet Theater celebrates humanity and the environment by engaging audiences through live performance combining the moving body, puppetry, mask, video, dance, and artistic installations. The combined ingredients communicate that which cannot be described in words, and therefore are accessible to communities around the globe.

“Sova” means “owl” in Slovak and also refers to an asteroid belt named by a Czech astronomer.
