NOIR Night Market is a unique nightlife concept that brings elements of theater, interactive gameplay, live music, DJ sets, tattoos and cabaret into one cinematic, film-noir stylized immersive theatre. The Night Market returns, but this time premiering integrated scenes from the original play that inspired it all, The Prohibition of Lust.
Guests are invited to hustle the unforgiving streets of Striker City, while several interwoven stories unfold throughout a labyrinth of motels, speakeasies and brothels. The story is centered around an illegal drug called Lust, a drug that dominates the underground market, drives political campaigns and gives its users a taste of their strongest desire. How deep the story goes depends on how engaged you want to be, how clever you are at the crimes you commit and deals you make with the city’s night workers, private investigators and crooked cops. If you want to thrive in this city, come prepared to manipulate friends and charm strangers. Just be discreet. You’re likely being followed. Around every corner you’ll find sultry live music, suspicious theater scenes, back-alley tattoos, big band accompaniment, femme fatale cabaret performances, and noir-influenced sets until morning.

A play written and directed by Phoneix Chase-Maeres, presented at Palac Gorzanów. The story concerned one couple and their relationship, focusing on their communication, reminiscing, and the process of letting go. Each scene was played by a different couple, and myself and my scene partners finale scene was played twice, so each of us played both characters. The interchangeability of characters emphasised the inertia of serial monogamy and repetitive relationship cycles. The stage was inter-dispersed throughout the courtyard of a 17th century palace, meaning that scenes of reality, memory, fantasy, dance, and intimacy, were interlaced and distributed throughout the physical space and audience.
