In preparation for their unique and certain-to-be-magical performances this weekend, LUCENT DOSSIER EXPERIENCE has exclusively revealed new details via their website LucentDossier.com.

LUCENT DOSSIER EXPERIENCE will also hold a silent art auction to benefit one of their own, Brent “Shrine” Spears, who is currently recovering from a near fatal accident.
LUCENT DOSSIER EXPERIENCEwrote on their site:
“World-renowned avant-garde performance troupe LUCENT DOSSIER EXPERIENCE will return to the Palace Theatre in Downtown Los Angeles for a two-night run on Friday, October 21 and Saturday, October 22. Following a sold-out show July 28 to officially unveil the newly restored Palace Theatre on its 100th birthday, LUCENT DOSSIER EXPERIENCE has reached new bounds. The extraordinary event was the first of its kind, stretching the limits of a typical LUCENT DOSSIER EXPERIENCE to a magnificent all-night spectacle, transporting the patron to an alternate reality. From the time the theatre doors open to the last vibration from the DJ speakers, LUCENT DOSSIER EXPERIENCE promises something you’ve never experienced before.
“The troupe and theatre owners are beyond excited to open the doors for yet another night like no other, full of music, dance, art, and theatrics. Lucent Dossier is eager to announce the new additions to this eagerly anticipated second run. The night has taken on a new element, a silent art auction and benefit has been added for Friday and Saturday. Lucent will be joined by a wonderful group of artists and friends who will be donating their original, one-of-a-kind pieces created by visionary artists for Brent “Shrine” Spears.
“On Wednesday, October 5th at 4:30am, Brent “Shrine” Spears, Burning Man icon and Creator of the 2008 Temple, The Basura Sagrada, was admitted to the emergency room after a near fatal car accident. He spent nearly a week in ICU battling for his life.
“Shrine, the artist, hobo clown, father of Los Angeles based performance troupe Lucent Dossier Experience, and man of wisdom, has touched the hearts and lives of so many people across the world. From his distinctly original American folk art that is the interior of the House Of Blues, his mad capped performing madness and contribution to Lucent Dossier to his BEAUTIFUL and majestic temples that have risen at festivals all over the world, all constructed from found, recycled and trash materials, this man is a treasure to the planet. His addition to the landscape of the 2008 burn with his beautiful Temple, The Basure Sagrada, remains a favorite to so many ‘Burners.’
“Lucent will be donating 100% of art sales and Palace proceeds to this amazing man’s recovery.
“Just added to the line up of is the music of Cello Joe “an anomaly in the world of cellists.” By combining cello with beatboxing, he has created a unique genre: Classical Hip-Hop. Looped and layered beatboxing beats (vocal percussion) and funky cello form a rich soundscape for intelligent lyrics; Cello Joe spreads joy, laughter and consciousness raising vibrations. Also coming back is the unique stylings of Super Tall Paul, clown, comedian, jugger, unicyclists and master musician; “SuperTall Paul Newman is the man you call when you are looking for fun, silly, impressive entertainment.
“In keeping with the spirit of the last run, The Palace will remain open following Lucent’s 90 minute stage spectacular for a booty shaking after party! Just secured to spin the beats on Friday we have Shakti Bliss, a Dakini, DJ and Performance Artists twisting luscious gypsy lounge with bassy beats often described as sexy vaudevillian whomp. Saturday will be sonic alchemist, Imagika Om, blending potent ingredients such as exotic world-fusion rhythms, sacred sounds an erotic pulsating mid-tempo beats.”
