BACARDÍ x KENZO DIGITAL present “WE ARE THE NIGHT”

BACARDÍ got more than they expected when they tapped artist Kenzo Digital to create their weirdest and wildest Halloween party yet. The centerpiece of the party, NOCTURNAL AWAKENING, was an immersive environment that utilized cutting edge technology to create an exciting visual assault on the senses. DJs Swizz Beatz and Mark Ronson provided a soundtrack for guests that included Baz Luhrmann, Emily Ratajkowski, Kehinde and Alicia Keys. Most of the 1000+ guests came to party in full costume, adding another surreal layer to the already-outrageous atmosphere.

NOCTURNAL AWAKENING was part interactive art installation, part cinematic soundstage. Over 400 party guests experienced the live multi-sensory journey through mirrored rooms and infinite bat swarms, an inverted night chamber, down the abyss (a pitch black 16' tunnel slide) into a snowy winter forest, where they were magically transformed into a giant holographic bat. The labyrinthian structure also served as the set piece for a short film also called NOCTURNAL AWAKENING, directed by Kenzo Digital for BACARDÍ.
