Carnaval Was A Hit!

Collaboraction's 4th annual Carnaval “the last night of love” was a theatrical mash up of Valentine’s Day and Carnivale. Friday, February 16 from 8 - midnight the artistic team at Collaboraction took over RedNoFive at 440 N. Halsted. This years Carnaval was sponsored by Stoli Elite Vodka and Peroni Beer, and was hosted by the amazing team at RedNoFive. Everyone in attendance on that bitterly cold Friday night enjoyed a stellar performance from 2006 Grammy Award winner, Rhymefest!Be on the lookout for Collaboraction and Rhyemefest's upcoming project where together they adapt his new and unreleased album, El Che into a staged play with music sometime in '07! TJ Travelbee,Anacron Allen and a break-dance extravanganza from theBrickheadz wowed the audience as the night grew on, andThe Champagne Brothers offered a performance like nothing else.

Everyone at Collaboraction would like to give huge congratulations to the winners of the
silent auction and raffle.
