Pacha - the world’s most spectacular music and entertainment experience - is set to launch in Sydney on Saturday, 24 November and will take over Sydney’s ivy every Saturday night.
Much more than a traditional night club,
Pacha Sydney will be a mad burlesque of circus, dance and sensory overload; a
wicked romp through the dark alleys of the imagination. A world-class,
specially appointed Pacha Sydney creative team will mastermind a concoction of
theatrics, dance, music, light and costumes experience that will engage, entertain,
and amaze.
Each unforgettable Pacha experience will
feature a company of professional dancers, aerialists, street performers,
psychedelic projections and lighting which will take over the surrounding
laneways and turn every corner of Sydney’s only rooftop pool bar, ivy Pool
Club, Changeroom and ivy’s two-storey open-air courtyard into a haze of
activity.
ivy encompasses 10 bars over four
spectacular levels with varying musical offerings allowing guests to transition
between experiences. Whether you’re after a wild night of dancing amongst the
throng of revellers, some privacy with table service in one of the 14 VIP
spaces or an exclusive area to entertain large groups, Pacha has something for
everyone.
Justin Hemmes, CEO of Merivale, says of
the launch: “I am thrilled to be launching Pacha Sydney this summer at
ivy. Bringing together theatre and music, we’ve handpicked the best in the
industry to create this unique experience for Sydney that is sure to achieve
the high Pacha benchmark loved by so many around the world – I can’t wait to
open the doors!”
To ensure the experience exceeds any level
set internationally, one of the world’s most acclaimed events and creative
directors, Ignatius Jones, has been engaged as Co-Creative Director. His
credits include Creative Director of Sydney and Vancouver Winter Olympics
opening ceremonies, Vivid Sydney Festival and Artistic Director of Sydney Mardi
Gras Parade. Joining Ignatius as Co-Creative Director is renowned theatrical
director and producer Craig Ilott (credits include Smoke & Mirrors, La
Clique Royale, and Hedwig & The Angry Inch). The formidable duo will lead
the creative direction of Pacha Sydney with the support of a team of production
and choreography professionals.
Ricardo Urgell, Founder of Pacha
says, “As one of Australia’s best entertainment venues, ivy is the
perfect location for Pacha. We share the same vision and production values for
our large-scale shows with the Pacha team in Sydney and look forward to seeing
Pacha brought to life.”
Pacha’s residency in Sydney will
officially launch on Saturday 24 November in front of 3,000 invited guests and
ticketholders. The launch line-up will be revealed in coming weeks but will
include international headliners and a large mix of Australia’s best DJs who
have played in Pacha venues worldwide.
For Pacha Sydney events from Saturday, 1 December
onwards, doors open 7pm.
