MASQUERADE

Where Elegance Meets Mystery

Corporate Event Machine Shop, Minneapolis 250 Guests October 2024
ILEA Best Entertainment Production · 2024 International Live Events Association

What happens when you turn a raw industrial venue into a five-room opera of shadows, light, and spectacle? Over 250 guests walked into the Machine Shop expecting a corporate event. They stepped into a world. Every room told a different chapter. Every corner held something they didn't see coming. By the end of the night, nobody was talking about business.

MOMENTS THAT STOPPED THE ROOM

A two-tier LED chandelier descended from the ceiling. Inside it, two aerialists in jeweled masks poured cocktails from the sky into waiting glasses below. Nobody reached for their phone. They just watched.

A five-tier champagne tower doubled as a living food station, with an acrobat folded inside the top glass. Guests didn't realize she was real until she moved. The gasp was audible across the room.

The finale. A custom-welded 10-foot spiral lowered from the ceiling. Inside it, a solo aerialist performed a four-minute routine that brought 250 people to complete silence, then a standing ovation.

THE EXPERIENCE

Fields Law wanted something their VIP clients would never forget. Not a gala. Not a party. Something that would make 250 high-profile guests feel like they'd stepped into another world the moment they crossed the threshold.

Immersive room detail Performer in mask

We transformed the Machine Shop into five distinct immersive environments, each with its own cast of performers, lighting design, and sonic landscape. Guests moved through the space at their own pace, discovering masked aerialists, living art installations, and interactive experiences that blurred the line between audience and performance.

Living art installation

Every act was custom-built for this event. The aerial chandelier cocktail pour. The champagne tower contortionist. The spiral finale. Nothing was pulled from a catalog. Nothing had existed before this night.
