Emigrants
— Director, Designer, Producer
Emigrants is the Faceless space transforming into a restaurant, into a ‘private’ member’s club, turns pit-of-sin. The space breathes with a mixture of performances, music, and environmental design intended to induce celebration; incorporating special performances by curated list of invited artists.
YOU CAME TO TEACH ME THINGS I
HAD NOT KNOWN BEFORE BUT THE
ANGEL APPEARS & YOU ARE SILENT
ANGEL APPEARS & YOU ARE SILENT
AGAIN

HE IS SOON GONE

AND STILL YOU ARE ANXIOUS
AND STILL YOU ARE ANXIOUS
PLEASURE SUSPENDS
MY ANGUISH. IT WAS UNIQUE
Takeaway
A Faceless performance lasts roughly 3 hours, but it hadn’t meant the audience was done. As more of Saint Petersburg underground culture was explored, we chose an outlet to unify and lift artists and audiences through experience. From the moment a Faceless performance concluded, it took 20 minutes to transform the first floor and courtyard into new form of ‘dinner-theatre.’ A meticiously choreographed restaurant and tavern space gives way to environmental performance, then to variety; then the fun begins. A space always transforming, removing obstacles eventually transforming into an evocative nightclub that is open as late as you can stay.
One Year. 3 Nights Per Week.
