Fado Performance presents:
The 2nd Annual Valentine-Oh-Grams!!
February 14, 2008

Some lovers give chocolates and some splurge on roses. This Valentine's Day give the gift that will charm your sweetie for the entire year – PERFORMANCE ART!
Say “I love you" with a Fado Performance Valentine-Oh-Gram!

Choose one of these sweet and unique live performance-oh-grams created and performed by local performance art luminaries:

Careless Whisper: A Singing Vagina Valentine-oh-Gram
Serenade your sweetie with George Michael's classic ballad as sung by performer Lisa Anne Ross wearing a giant vagina costume (yes, you read it right). George Michael’s words delivered with James Brown’s dramatic flair. Comes with a tiny bottle of champagne, which is sort of phallic looking (but ridiculously small next to the giant vagina). For those with a good sense of humour or a healthy dose of hubris.

The Say Anything Valentine-oh-Gram
It’s 1989 and a trench coat wearing John Cusack is standing outside your bedroom window in the rain holding a boombox over his head playing “In Your Eyes” by Peter Gabriel. Swoon. Now picture this: It’s February 14, 2008, and you’ve just bought the Say Anything Valentine-Oh-Gram for your sweetie. A group of performance artists wearing trench coats holding boomboxes over their heads playing that Peter Gabriel song (or another song, your choice) arrive at your sweetie’s home (or office or yoga class etc.) and melt his/her heart with this romantic cinema image. Need we say anything more?

The Spelling Bee Valentine-Oh-Gram
C-R-E-A-T-E (space) A (space) S-P-E-C-I-A-L (space) M-E-S-S-A-G-E for your loved one and our team of performance artists will deliver it to your darling spelling bee style using megaphones and flash cards. Can’t think of something to say that says it all? Let our team of performance artists spell out your love for you.
Suitable for loved ones of all kinds – lovers, friends, or go educational and purchase this Valentine-oh-Gram for the kids.

The Display of Affection Valentine-Oh-Gram
For the lover who doesn't mind a little PDA in the form of a group hug/multiple kisses delivered by total strangers (“Don’t worry honey, it doesn’t mean anything, they’re just performance artists”). The Display of Affection Valentine-Oh-Gram is a collapsible travelling kissing/hugging booth that sets ups instantly at your Valentine's location and comes complete with a line-up of loving performance artists ready and willing to offer all the PDA’s you’re too shy to display. Modest and slightly less modest versions available.

NEW this year!
The Valentine-Oh-Phone
Give us the name and phone number of your “special someone” and on Valentine’s Day we will call them for you and engage them in a warm and fuzzy conversation about how much they are loved (using information you have provided us, of course). Local, Canadian or US calls only. Valentine-Oh-Phones are suitable for long distance lovers, parents, best friends, or secret admirers. Discretion assured!
