About this event
Neon Requiem – An Afterglow for Aurora Lux
Neon Requiem is a nightclub noir dinner-theatre experience— A stage lit by lust, kissed with perfume, dusted in glitter—now dimmed by departure and dripping with vice. Step beyond velvet ropes and neon haze into a night where memory clings like cigarette smoke and sin still smolders like ash.
Guests are invited to gather beneath The Gag & Grimoire, a hidden venue cloaked in candlelight and shadow, where whispers seep from the walls and secrets refuse to sleep.This is an afterparty of another kind—a fabulous farewell to our slain Siren of the Stage, renowned for her ruin, never her restraint.You will eat, drink, and bask in her Afterglow—in style deluxe.
Each event features:
- A 3-course candlelit meal, woven with symbolism and story
- Curated, premixed cocktails, served with flair and a whisper of vice
- A fully immersive theatrical performance, unfolding around you in acts between courses
- Intimate, limited seating (12 guests per show, VIP available) for a private, unforgettable atmosphere
Expect flirtation. Expect confession. Expect lace, lipstick, and something lingering in the air.
This is immersive noir for the nocturnal soul—
A candlelit farewell for Aurora Lux, the Nymph of the Neon Stage. Come dressed to impress—catty, flashy, contained to be detained—ready to drink, and hungry for more than just answers. A wake in sequins and stilettos. She burned too bright—now we drink in her name.
