Dive into a surreal nightclub/BAR experience featuring mesmerising art, guerrilla performances, roving installations, Karaoke and more, woven together by the hypnotic art form of Butoh, led by legendary performing artist Yumi Umiumare.

Sake and spine-tingling ritualistic happenings initiate the space from 7pm

Performances 7:30pm-9pm
