We know what you may be expecting: black tie, giant tent, disco, with a bit of a theme… so prepare for the unexpected. Prepare for a night of surreal décor and fast-paced vibrancy. Prepare for Fantasmagoria. Fantasmagoria refers several things. ‘Fantasmagorie’ was one of the first cartoons to be made, in 1908, and has subsequently come to describe the art of projecting fantastic and disquieting im
ages onto a screen. It also refers to a nonsensical work by Lewis Carroll called ‘Phantasmagoria’, and ties into Disney’s dizzying musical film ‘Fantasia’, whose creator was described by Salvador Dali as one of the “three great American surrealists”. To us, Fantasmagoria is fantastic, surreal, and magical. Yet it is now also a Ball. On the 5th May 2012, immerse yourself in an interpretation of Surrealism like no other. You will see yourself in new shapes, taste strangely fantastic foods and drinks, and dance through a landscape of mirrors and melting clocks. There will be mirrors, a shisha tent, themed cocktails, strange projections, top DJs, free alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, even time that goes backwards, and more…
