Carnevale

EXPERIENTIAL / ENVIRONMENTAL / NARRATIVE / EVENT PRODUCTION / CONTENT

Overview

An invite-only gathering to launch Studio Dream Factory’s ongoing “Last Supper Club” series and bring together artists, designers, and cultural operators within a deliberately constructed narrative environment, operating as a curated, immersive encounter between disciplines, aesthetics, and conversation.

Thematic production design, narrative atmosphere, character and theatrical elements, and thoughtful coordination of creative collaborators and interactive activations, the gathering was not only a live, social experience for guests but moreover the formation of a participatory, enduring artifact of visual and editorial material, a narrative foundation for the forthcoming series’ events, and a uniquely personal, natively uninhibited opportunity for connection, dialogue, and forging new relationships.

While itself inherently transitory in nature, the event, through its built-in social, experiential, archival, and narrative components, leveraged the ephemeral and temporally delimited format as the genesis of the ongoing Last Supper Club series’ “world”—its initial history, lore, citizenry, material relics, narrative premise, and audience interest—for enduring community-building, collective narrative creation, ongoing cultural documentation, and ongoing interpersonal, experiential participation.
