Night Is the Mirror is not just a surrealist trip through the mind of your favorite modern cabaret troupe.  It's also a concert film.  Somewhat.  The point is, there's a lot of music on the DVD, much of which isn't available on any other recording.

The film features 11 original Alacartoona songs:
    Willkommen
    Loves His Lover
    The Apartment
    The Sneakers
    Every Saint Needs a Sinner
    Drowning All My Sorrows
    Just a Drink or Two
    Where'd You Get That
    Ruby's Lament
    We All Come Down
    (Today, My Dear) I'm Yours

The DVD extras include six more original tunes performed live at the "Night Is the Mirror" wrap celebration after the last day of shooting:

    First Contact
    Sailor Joe
    The Walk
    Remark On the Days
    Black and Blue Heart
    Geppetto

A little corporate sponsorship never hurt anyone.  Right?

What would you do with a million dollars? What would you do for a million dollars? When Alacartoona tangles with a devlish agent and his promise of riches and fame, "who's on top?" takes on a whole different meaning.

One night in a forgotten cabaret, music and dreams collide...

Please join Alacartoona and the cast and crew of "Night Is the Mirror" for a special film premier and DVD release on 17 October, 2009 at the Screenland Theatre at the Crossroads, Kansas City, MO.

The night will feature two showings of the film (7:00 PM and 9:30 PM), with a cocktail reception between for all ticket holders, during which Alacartoona will perform some of her newest compositions in a cabaret setting.  Both showings will include a Q&A with Alacartoona, co-producer Phil Kinen and director Brian Hicks.

DVDs will be available for sale. Doors open at 6:30pm with preshow activities and a cash bar.

For tickets, please visit the online box office for the Screenland Theatre at the Crossroads.

"Night Is the Mirror" is a feature-length film that walks the shadowy border between reality and fantasy.  Set in a forgotten cabaret over the course of one night, music and dreams collide in live performances that aren't live, interviews that don't answer questions and journeys of great expanses with little progress. 

The film was made possible by an Inspiration Grant from the ArtsKC Fund, and through the generous support of PresentMagazine.com, Screenland Theatre, Gravity-Ink and Outpost Worldwide.  Additional funding was provided by fans of Alacartoona.
 
For more information, please visit Alacartoona's web site:
