​ 
The Illuminati Ball—New York City is a surreal immersive theater experience inspired by leaked photos from the Baron and Baroness de Rothschilds’ legendary 1972 fete, which drew elaborately masked guests such as  Salvador Dali and Audrey Hepburn to the powerful couple’s mansion in France. Von Buhler’s version of the ball explores the myth and mystery of the Illuminati in conjunction with a powerful story about modern-day medical experimentation. Guests will be invited to take part in esoteric ritual ceremonies throughout the 6,500 square foot space, featuring eclectic music, provocative dance and daring performances unfolding continuously across three floors of interactive Illuminati-inspired rooms. 

Upon arrival, guests enter into The Dressing Room where they will choose a unique mask to wear for the evening (and which they may take home afterwards as a memento of the night’s adventure). VIP initiates enter directly into The Domed Ballroom to choose their mask – and they are given an Illuminati ring allowing access to the secret third floor.
 
The event is written, produced, curated, designed and directed by Cynthia von Buhler, creator of the acclaimed Speakeasy Dollhouse immersive theater experiences, which to date have included three shows exploring mysterious Prohibition-era deaths and murders: The Bloody Beginning, The Brothers Booth, and Ziegfeld Midnight Frolic. The event is co-produced and co-directed by PJ Mead, with choreography and co-curation by Delysia La Chatte. Dara Swisher is the Stage Manager. The evening features special guest collaborations and appearances occurring throughout the historic bank. Featured performers include Vincent Cinque (Baron Guy de Rothschild), Luka Fric (Vacanti), Katie Kat (Parthenope), Countess Eden Atencio (Kahmadhenu), Travis Moore (Chumanzee), Maria Rusolo (Baroness Helene de Rothschild a.k.a. Demeter) and Justin Moore (Douglas).
