Life's a circus, ain't it? Allow us to be your ringmasters for the evening and, in true Hush Hush fashion, welcome you into a new world inspired by an old time: La Vie Bohème. You're getting very sleepy... let the timepiece swing. Follow the pendulum into a mansion of sensory mystique where your subconscious lights up the room. Just across the rainbow railroad tracks, through the saloon doors of 504 Petronia Street, a transformation of the entire 801 complex takes shape. Emerge through the flame threshold to discover a dreamscape filled to the brim with surreal installations, performances by local artists, wearable art by Sushi, displays of grandeur in every corner, musicians in every room, an exclusive cabaret based on the book Where The Wild Things Are and a very special pop-up bar, “The Green Genie”, featuring Death in The Afternoon Absinthe.
Remember, you're not chasing a dream. You're tuning into a future that is already calling you... from a lobster telephone.
Join the circus. One night only.
