With the audience in the back room of the Cameron, surrounded by multiple, overhead video monitors and cameras and Tom Tube was broadcasting live from the CBTV studio on the second floor, this was the manifestation of VideoCabaret alchemy, fusing video & cabaret performances, pushing the boundaries of both.
