Alleyway wonderland through to Cirque de Pacha Sydney

002Ever wondered what to do with a few curtain tassels, angel wings and that Venetian mask you have hanging around the house? One night at Pacha will inspire your creativity in a ‘Spectacular, Spectacular’ with costumed performers who bring it all to life courtesy the creative directors who brought you the Vancouver Winter Olympics, and more.

If you’ve witnessed Pacha in Ibiza you’ll know it’s more than just uber DJ’s spinning the crowd into a frenzy. Think more a theatrical fusion of dancers, beats and glamour. No surprise then that ivy is the Sydney stage for a dazzling combo of circus and entertainment.

The lights dim, the tunes fade out and confetti reigns down as a chorus of angels start singing. Two enormous silk ribbons are raised in the sky as a lone aerialist step climbs up above the crowd. Over the course of the evening street performers, psychedelic light shows and acrobatic feats create a visual playground. Wanna be a VIP? Too easy!  Hire a private balcony for the best seats in the house.

Just when you think it’s safe to go back on the dance floor, a suspended art installation by design genius Glue Society’s James Drive called ‘A Little Faster Please” starts to illuminate. Pedal power by a lone cyclist creates a visual light bulb display spelling out the words Heineken.

Those who love clubbing will go crazy for a stunning evening, those who don’t, will walk away wondering why they ever stopped.

About the author

Karen’s corporate job back in the UK had included entertaining clients in some of the best restaurants. This ultimately sparked a curiosity 'Just how do they do that?' (she confesses she was brought up on meat and vegetables, so this was all very exciting). Currently a Mr & Mrs Smith 'Tastemaker', she’s flashpacked around the world, learning about wine, experiencing different cultures and cuisines and had a two- year love affair with it all. Originally from England, she finally settled in Australia and continues to be besotted by food, wine and travel preferring to focus on the luxury end of town (thread count does matter).
