Some folks believe the end of the world will be happening on December 21, 2012 at 11:11 A.M. (GMT?), but Philemon feels that this date will actually mark a transition into a different social consciousness.

However, with that theme in mind, he will be offering this year only, some special event choices, including divinations via a rare original Mayan “Xultún” tarot deck, and a special performance piece with a doomsday theme called “The Cassandra Conundrum.”

According to Greek legend, Cassandra was given the gift of prophecy, but also cursed that no one would believe her predictions. That theme is juxtaposed with the history of “end of the world” predictions, all of which (naturally) have failed to come true. It is with these ideas in mind that Philemon presents a show about the hazards of prophecy, with comic results, yet still managing to be deeply mystifying when the final revelation is made.

As the day of December 21 draws closer, Philemon anticipates that available booking dates will quickly fill up, so you might wish to get your reservation in now. Of course, Philemon will also be performing after that date (hopefully), and offers a money-back guarantee in case the world does come to an end before your scheduled event date.
