Have you ever wished you could step inside the world of Beats Antique? That is what will happen when Beats Antique, Zoe Jakes and The Experientialists come together for House Of Tarot: an experience of ethereal, dark and bizarre storytelling and ritual theater..
You will enter a world where there is no stage and you are in the show, discovering yourself through a series of riddles, trials and tribulations. Meander through the depths of the historic San Francisco Mint along with Zoe Jakes and the House Of Tarot cast to uncover your personal destiny. For those who dare to complete the journey, you will be greeted with a debaucherous celebration of music, dance and performance featuring Zoe Jakes, the House Of Tarot cast, and a full stage performance by Beats Antique at surprise moments throughout the evening. Each room is another adventure as Beats Antique presents their most intimate performance ever. Enter a singular experience with a smaller audience, and explore the unusual beauty of the San Francisco Mint while perhaps brushing shoulders with Beats Antique... or maybe that was just a trick of the light...
You will enter the House Of Tarot experience at a select time slot for your intimate initiation ceremony (maximum 30 people per entrance). After the ceremony you are free to roam The Mint to discover your destiny and learn the mysteries of the House Of Tarot. Entrances are split into Group 1 and Group 2. If you need to enter at a different hour from the rest of your party you can join them for the remainder of your experience so long as your tickets are part of the same group.
About House Of Tarot
10 years ago, while poring over a favorite deck of Tarot cards, Zoe Jakes was inspired to create a work of art as powerful as the cards themselves. Finally, after years of creative process, House of Tarot has been created, placing the captivating energy of the Tarot deck onto members of the belly dance community. House of Tarot is true performance art, a mutable dance theater performance imbued with ritual and the mysteries of Fate.

You can't know Beats Antique until you've been a part of its journey, and experienced the act as an entity with a life of its own. A stage show that demands more music; music that needs costumes, ships and masks and shadow dances; an audience that comes for art, and takes away stories to feed their imagination.
When Beats Antique first drew breath, there was no pressure to become anything. The first album was just Zoe, David, and Tommy's one-off experimental project for entertainment executive Miles Copeland, when Zoe performed with his Bellydance Superstars. From that creative freedom, a family formed, and in a good family each member wears many hats. Tommy steering percussion, piano, and music production. Zoe producing music, choosing themes and commanding a circus of travelling set designs, creating costuming, and, of course, dancing like nothing you've ever seen. David as the multi-instrumentalist, captain of banjo, songwriting, and production. These diverse skills are the muscle of the monster, how the creature moves through them, making itself real.
Some music evolved organically from the decades of experience each collaborator brings to the project. Other pieces were written for the show. In deeply vulnerable interplay, every song is woven into a tapestry of danced and drummed story. Commitment to the full performance art form is how Beats Antique fuses musical worlds, pulling on global sounds for experiments on the fringes of cinematic cabaret, informed by electronic mash-ups and inspirations who have joined them on the journey such as Les Claypool, Bassnectar, Alam Khan, The Glitch Mob, and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
Each album and stage show has built upon the last, with highlights such as: emergence from the bellydance and bass underground in the San Francisco Bay; performing to a massive crowd at Red Rocks Amphitheater; Thievery Corporation and their management discovering Beats Antique one fateful night at Burning Man; artist friends painting set pieces, or donning masks for the finale; performing in Egypt on the day some said the world would end; and playing a hometown show at The Fox on the night Occupy Oakland was evicted and merged with their fans to light bonfires in the street and leap over the flames.
