A few pre-Mantis pics from the Twisted: Night Flowers party. Just enough time for a boogie on the dance floor and a cheeky cocktail ✨🍹

A black and white photo of Orlando dancing on the dance floor, their right arm raised above them with a large clack fan unfurled.

A black and white photo of Orlando taking a sip of their cocktail (a cosmopolitan FYI) whilst looking cheekily at the camera.

A moment of sacred libation 💦

I’m so glad this got captured on camera! What better way to begin @newannual’s Twisted: Night Flowers party than to receive this golden gift from @cleo_rapture ✨🖤

The photo captures a moment from the opening interactive performance piece at New Annual festival’s Twisted Night Flowers event. On the left is Cleo Raptures, wearing shiny black pleather and a pair of blue medical gloves, her blunt cut bangs and long dark hair framing an immaculately painted face, her mouth open in a ‘say aaaahhh’ expression as she holds out a medical sample jar. The jar tilts, gently spilling its contents in a steady stream into the waiting mouth of Orlando, pictured on the right, their head tilted back, dark curly hair falling behind their shoulders, mouth open, eyes closed, with their makeup sparkling under the lights.
