Thank you for visiting ‘Karousel2084.com’! Over the coming weeks and months we will be sharing more information about the Karousel World and all that entails. Musician, Artist and Writer Dan Reed, originally from the Polygram Recording Artist ‘Dan Reed Network, made use of the time during the Lockdowns in 2020 and focused on writing the story of ‘Karousel’, a dystopian Robin Hood tale set in the year 2084 where the main set piece is an underground cabaret club called ‘Karousel’. Once a co-owner of club ‘Ohm’ in his hometown of Portland, Oregon, Reed was more than familiar with the environment, (write what you know!), and always felt ‘Ohm’ was a kind of oasis for the patrons and the staff, an escape from the grind of daily life. In ‘Karousel’ that experience is turned up to eleven, for music, pageantry and art is even more imperative in a completely bleak and otherwise hopeless world that is dying. What you are witnessing on the site currently is the ‘Origin Story’ of who will one day become our heroes and villains of the future entitled ‘Karousel:Survival of the Fittest’. Although in this world the lines between good and evil are blurred almost beyond recognition. What transpires in this intense ballad of morality will indeed define where everyone stands in the end. ‘Survival of the Fittest’ follows the plight and struggle to survive of the street kids born in the cauldron of ‘Sector One’, the mega-city where also lives the corporation that runs the world with an iron fist.
We invite you to visit the start of it all, where the youth are tempered by the suffering and absurdity that surrounds them, and where future Street Kings and Queens are born. Please sign up to our MAILING LIST, and share this website with those who you believe will be interested in this tale! And stay tuned for more Videos, Artwork, and News on the progress of ‘Karousel’!
This is the beginning of what will be a years long journey bringing this story to the world in many formats and we are honored you are here at the start of it all. If Dystopian Thrillers with a touch of Sci-Fi and stellar Music is your thing then you’ve found a great place to hang, and you have our deepest gratitude for the visit!
