Who doesn’t love a good secret? Thisisnotashop would like to invite you to a secret performance by artist Catherine Barragry… I can’t tell you what happens because after watching I was sworn to secrecy… I can’t tell you where it is except it’s not where you’d expect…. I can say that Barragry is one of the most inventive and engaging performance artists I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with and this performance is the secret that gets everyone talking…  - Jessamyn Fiore (Director Thisisnotashop)

Numbers are strictly limited so booking is essential. Please email Michael to make a reservation and put UNDERGROUND PERFORMANCE in the subject line. He will reply with the details of when and where.
