 LUCENT DOSSIER EXPERIENCE
EMBRACES NEW RESIDENCY AT CLIFTON’S CAFETERIA IN DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES
AS THE
LUCENT ENCHANTMENT SOCIETY
ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23
GRAND OPENING OF ‘THE PACIFIC SEAS’ TIKI ROOM
SPARKS CREATIVE OPPORTUNITY FOR COLLECTIVE
The highly anticipated and hugely successful past two weekends of the LUCENT ENCHANTMENT SOCIETY residency grand opening have been described as an other-worldly experience unlike anything else offered in Los Angeles. With a total of 2,500 attendees during the Saturday events (10/22 and 10/29), both Clifton’s Cafeteria (www.cliftonsla.com; 648 S. Broadway, Los Angeles) and LUCENT DOSSIER EXPERIENCE are happy to announce the addition of ‘The Pacific Seas’ Tiki Bar. The newest amenity at the venue will provide a worthwhile opportunity for LUCENT DOSSIER to test the limits and bring guests into an even more tantalizing, immersive experience at the venue. The Tiki Bar will be available for exclusive gatherings during Lucent Enchantment Society evenings.
As of Saturday, November 23, the LUCENT ENCHANTMENT SOCIETY will embrace the already incredible Clifton’s Cafeteria, with the added delight of ‘The Pacific Seas’ Tiki Bar. Expect walking into a fully immersive world set in 1930’s and 40’s Los Angeles but with a romantic spin, as the venue is transformed with 20 LUCENT DOSSIER EXPERIENCE aerialists, contortionists and performers.
LUCENT DOSSIER EXPERIENCE last held a downtown Los Angeles residency at the Edison in 2008 and 2009. Blurring the boundaries of fantasy and reality, the troupe of “fire dancers, aerial silk performers, belly dancers, contortionists, burlesque girls and daring ‘actors’…some of whom hang from the rafters inside the bar and mingle with the patrons” (Los Angeles Times, 7/14/08) truly birthed a new form of interactive performance that creatively breaks down the fourth wall between performer and audiences. So many nightclubs have endeavored to emulate the formula but haven’t captured the experience quite like Lucent.
“The Lucent Dossier Experience is unlike any other night of entertainment. It is very much theatre, but also part concert, acrobats, circus, dance performance, and opera. It’s a blend of all these things, but a truly unique experience. The music is hot, the costumes are elaborate, and the energy is electric,” shared LAist (11/2/11). The Edison residency brought visitors to an”underworld that spans 10,000 square feet and instantly catapults you back in time, landing you somewhere between the Victorian era and Prohibition,” and will find themselves in a hybrid fantasy world where “bygone-era outfits are paired with futuristic makeup designs painted on faces and bodies,” noted the Advocate.com (12/11/08).
Earlier this year, LUCENT DOSSIER EXPERIENCE debuted a new 3D Live, augmented reality performance to a massive Coachella crowd with closing sets at the Sahara Tent on both Fridays (April 15 & 22) of the two-weekend-long event to high-acclaim; LUCENT DOSSIER EXPERIENCE continued with their Lightning in a Bottle extravaganza–a combination of new performances and original ones, with only a few seen at this year’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, returning to the original 2D format. The collective also brought their festival show to Hollywood’s Avalon nightclub.
 Additional critical praise for LUCENT DOSSIER EXPERIENCE:
“Imagine if Cirque du Soleil embraced an underworld where abundant sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll reigned…”
—Los Angeles Times
“Greatest show on Earth”
~VOGUE
“Lucent Dossier is spinning a dream. Spin that web around us, too.”
~NBC News
“The best I can do to describe Lucent Dossier is to say if all of the paintings of Dali came to life…”
~The Huffington Post
“The stilt walking, fire breathing, unicycling Lucent Dossier… a burst of energy and tension…risque”
~SPIN
“…..At a Lucent Dossier show you experience a world that doesn’t exist, a place where the future and the past happen simultaneously, as if under some metaphorical big top in a David Lynch dream sequence.”
~LA Weekly
