House of Lunacy Halloween Ball - The Danse Macabre

Dearest Darlings,

Welcome to our final chapter of the year. Chapter IV: Decay.

This year, we pass through the veil to a ballroom of magnificent revelry and rot! Step across the threshold into a twilight realm where 1920s Weimar decadence bleeds into the shadowed, velvety boudoirs of turn of the century Montmartre. We collide the dark, avant garde expressionism of Anita Berber’s Dances of Vice, Horror, and Ecstasy with the sultry, cigarette stained hedonism of a belle époque Parisian brothel.

We have reached the absolute end of this cycle. Since our rebirth, we now prepare to decay once more, letting our world settle before the wheel turns for 2027.

Join hands with the damned as we dance into the night with the forgotten souls of the past. A ballroom of raw sensuality, scandalous erotica, and total liberation.

Channel the provocative spirit of Berber: androgynous tuxedos, stark Expressionist dramatics, and radical, unfiltered expression, entwined with the lace, powdered wigs, corsetry, and silk petticoats of Montmartre’s most infamous opium dens and pleasure houses.

The Damned have returned to this world for one single night, leaving their beauty to rot and decay in their once magnificent splendour as they swirl across the floor in pure rapture and lust.

DRESS CODE & INSPIRATION

We invite you to manifest your darkest, most decadent interpretations of the theme:

Weimar Cabaret & Expressionist Vice:

Anita Berber, Sebastian Droste, sharp suits, monocles, sharp tailoring, smudged rouge, theatrical macabre, and avant garde nudity.

Montmartre Boudoir:

Silk robes, stained velvet, corsets, ripped lace, powdered faces, disheveled aristocrats, salon poets, and courtesan glam.

Rot, Decay & The Undead:

Faded grandeur, tattered ballgowns, skeletal elegance, and opulent grotesque beauty.

Your creativity always brings us so much joy and amazement, we cannot wait to see what sublime madness you will manifest.

Each event is created with a creative theme in mind for guests to explore with their clothes, costumes and bodies.

This is not negotiable and we expect all who jump into this world to join in. This is to enhance everyone’s experience and to truly create a new adventurous world of love and freedom.
