The Story Of Sirens’ Cove

12/22/2003

LAS VEGAS -- Imagine a quiet little cove at the edge of a village. Buildings bathed in a cool moonlit wash, marked by the occasional golden light of a hanging lantern. A ghostly bleached ship with tattered sails sits alone.

In the background, the faint elements of a steadily growing storm – a distant clap of thunder, whistling wind, waves striking against the rocks, the clang of a bell and the bang of loose shutters. Under it all, the laughter of mischievous Sirens echoes through the cove.

A young, handsome man navigates his way across the choppy waters in a skiff. As he sails his vessel around the rocks, the Sirens' haunting voices call out to him in chorus, drawing him toward their beautiful, yet ghostly ship, The Song.

The Song appears first as an uninhabited and eerie apparition. The figurehead at her bow is that of a beautiful nude siren, her arms outstretched as if calling out. Twirling up the center mast is a spiral staircase. The mainsail has broken loose and now gently flaps in the growing wind.

As the Sirens' song builds to a lush and intoxicating choral, the young man, Eros, ties off his skiff to a small dock, then climbs the ropes to the deck, turning to face the sea. Mystified by the Sirens' beautiful voices, he stands motionless, in a trance, as they call his name.

Suddenly, a huge bolt of lighting illuminates the mainsail, flashing the towering silhouette of a shapely Siren. The music crescendos and fades away along with the rest of the storm, leaving a dead calm. In this moment of quiet, Eros awakes, confused and disoriented.

He calls, “Who goes there? Who calls my name?”
Eros' call is answered with an ear-piercing shriek as the mainsail falls to reveal the shadowy figures of three breathtakingly beautiful Sirens.

The music swells as more Sirens seem to fall from the sky, closing in on Eros from all sides, challenging him in a teasing test of agility and strength. He fights and loses, dropping his sword and running up the spiral staircase, only to be stopped by Sinnamon, (“call me ‘Sin' for short”) the Siren of Sirens.

Sirens swirl around him, introducing themselves and laughing as they weave their spell. Eros struggles in vain, ultimately stripped of his shirt and bound to the ship's mast.

Above, a Siren lookout scans the horizon with her spyglass, eyeing a pirate ship sailing into the cove.
Sin: “Sisters to the gunnel. Our expected guests have arrived. We are about to greet the fearless Pirates of the Bull and the infamous Captain Mac!”

The Bull comes into view, its blazing red sails pressing the copper bull-headed ship full speed into Sirens' Cove. Beating on virtually every part of the metal ship is the crew, a worldly lot of stylish renegades. The roar of the percussion resembles the sound of a stampede.

The pirate ship steers into port and in a quick beat, the rhythm halts. The pirates quickly gather on deck next to the dark and brooding form of their infamous captain, who has serious plans to save his lost mate without losing his soul, or the souls of his crew, to the Sirens' song.

A fast-paced dialogue ensues between the pirates, Captain Mac, the Sirens and Sin, resulting in a tempting Siren-style, musical invite of love and pleasure that no mere man could resist.

But Captain Mac is no mere man. He rapidly calls his crew to task and demands them to fire on The Song and its bevy of beautiful and mesmerizing witches.

Sin, at first, refuses to take The Bull's bluster to heart, playfully teasing the Captain and crew. But even a Siren can be pushed only so far, especially when her treasures are at stake. Sin calls to her crew and as the music begins, a new Sin is born. As she storms to the gunnel with her bullwhip in hand, we meet her darker side. She begins to sing, and summons a tempest that grows more ferocious with every bar of song. Each crack of her whip sends electrical charges raining down on The Bull. The Sirens now sing a song of war.

The panicked pirates struggle to save their ship. In a final blow, a massive lightning strike topples the bowsprit, puncturing a hole center ship. A 100-foot geyser bursts skyward as Captain Mac watches helplessly.
Diving and jumping as best they can from wherever they stand, the pirates abandon ship and swim away into the darkness as Captain Mac and The Bull sink from view.

The Sirens stare forlornly across the cove and reflect on their lost opportunities. Eros, on his knees, looking up at Sin woefully says, “But why? Why did it have to end this way?”
Sin: “Oh please, just like a pirate…you're so dramatic.” She turns to the crowd. “You didn't really think it would end this way?” she says with a signal to a shack above the bow of The Song.

In a barrage of rock n' roll lighting and pyrotechnics the shutter doors explode outward revealing DJ Siren Sandy. In a dramatic shift of energy, the downbeat of the music slams us into the finale. The Song becomes the stage for a live concert as the Sirens summon the wet pirates to the deck of their ship from the cold waters below and revive them as only Sirens can. Everywhere, pirates and Sirens party it up, together at last, providing the audience with a spectacular array of dives, dance and dramatic stunt-work.

Finally, the Sirens dance their way into TI, inviting all to join them inside to party the night away.
