Since the turn of the century, Theatre Bizarre has layered darkness on top of darkness. In the shadow of the now dormant Michigan State Fairgrounds it stands in a largely abandoned neighborhood – surrounded by dozens of homes left vacant and decaying on the northernmost edge of Detroit. Built by an army of volunteers and emerging for only one incomparable masquerade each year, Theatre Bizarre has become the city’s most famous and infamous underground party

Shut down by the city of Detroit in 2010, Theatre Bizarre lives on.
