Prepare to ascend into a higher state of consciousness as elrow brings its latest hyper-sensory concept Hallucinarium to the US. Created in collaboration with visionary artists Alex & Allyson Grey, the themed immersive experience first transcended audiences at its world premiere at Ibiza’s legendary Amnesia this past September. Hallucinarium will make its U.S. debut at Radius in Chicago on November 29-30 before closing out Miami’s Art Basel week on December 8 at Factory Town.
An immersive music and performance based experience, inspired by, and based upon the psychedelic, spiritual art of Alex & Allyson Grey; the event takes participants on a cosmic journey through the peaks and valleys of human consciousness. Close your eyes and picture a stage where transcendental beings move against hypnotic backdrops, and where the sacred geometry of the Grey’s world renowned art is brought to life.
The performers, dressed in costumes designed by Alex and Allyson, will inhabit characters based on elements of the divine imagination. Angel-headed dancers, with flaming third eyes, and stilt-walking seraphim with iridescent wings, move through the space with supernatural grace, guiding you through landscapes of surreal beauty. Less a party and more a kaleidoscopic initiation ceremony, entering the Hallucinarium means entering a space where ‘Hallucinangels’ and ‘Moongoats’ frolic with abandon, while colossal multifaceted gods invade a DJ booth flanked by monumental sculptures inspired by interdimensional beings and the secret language of the psychedelic experience.
The to be announced sonic selectors will lead the crowd in an ecstatic celebration with waves of the finest house, techno, tech-house and everything in-between. A spectacular fusion of art, music and spirituality; Hallucinarium is for those looking to transcend the mundane, and experience a different reality.
Chicago’s Radius and Miami’s Factory Town each offer unique atmospheres that perfectly complement the immersive experience of Hallucinarium. Radius is a sprawling warehouse space boasting state-of-the-art production capabilities, making it a prime destination for large-scale electronic music events. Factory Town offers an open-air, industrial playground with a raw, urban aesthetic. Renowned for hosting some of the most forward-thinking events during Art Basel, its gritty charm and creative energy set the stage for a truly transformative experience under the Miami sky.
