THE EDWARDIAN BALL
IMPORTANT UPDATE
Salutations Dear Edwardians,
While we had high hopes we would come together in just a few weeks to create a grand Edwardian Revival, now unfortunately is not the moment when we can safely and joyfully do so. Due to spiking Covid case numbers, we regretfully announce the postponement of The Edwardian Ball 2022 to a new, soon to be announced date. This was a very difficult decision for us to make, but ultimately there is nothing more important than our collective safety and ability to enjoy the experience of creating The Edwardian Ball together!
In the words of our esteemed patron saint Edward Gorey, “God knows, there’s enough to worry about without worrying about worrying about things.”
Per our ticket policy, we will not be refunding tickets due to this health and safety-related change and, as promised, all tickets will be honored at our new date. Stay tuned for more information!
With love,
Vau de Vire & The Edwardian Ball
Our featured tale – performed both nights in 2022 – will be Edward Gorey’s playful classic, “The Wuggly Ump.” Once again we join unsuspecting children and fiendish monsters in a tangle of illustrations and mysterious prose, brought to life in an original stage performance by your co-hosts Rosin Coven and Vau de Vire Society. Add in performances by Dark Garden, Kinetic Steam Works, Le Cancan Bijou, our famous Vendor Bazaar, the decadent Museum of Wonders, and many, many musical and theatrical guests each night, and we’ll have a 21st annual weekend that you won’t want to miss!
At 50% capacity, tickets are going quickly: SATURDAY, FEB 5, IS CURRENTLY SOLD OUT. Please note that all ticket sales are final and all sales are non-refundable. If our events are postponed due to health and safety concerns, all tickets will be honored at a future date. Please note that proof of vaccination is required to enter The Regency Ballroom.

THE SOILED DOVE
From The Vau de Vire Society, co-creators of the world renowned Edwardian Ball, Lagunitas Beer Circus, Phantasm Halloween, New Bohemia NYE and a decade of The Bay Area’s most creatively outrageous nightlife events, comes an immersive, circus-infused, scandalous and historic dinner-theater experience that will titillate your every sense. The Soiled Dove is a one-of-a-kind touring show that takes place under Vau de Vire’s massive 12,000 sq. ft. circus tent, the Tortona Big Top!
To enter The Soiled Dove, is to step back into another world, inspired by the Bay Area’s notorious Gold Rush & Barbary Coast era. A fully built-out 19th century outpost of decadence and delights, a replica of a 19th century Oakland saloon and dancehall, replete with all its characters and misfits. An evening filled, with decadent culinary creations served alongside world-renowned performances accompanied by a 10 piece live orchestra with surprise musical-guest cameos each evening.
In 2019, The Soiled Dove graced Downtown Oakland with shows every Friday and Saturday evening…under Vau de Vire’s massive 12,000 sq. ft. circus tent, the Tortona Big Top! Thank you to all who helped make it a circus! Stay tuned for details on our next season!
