Night Watch Dance Party
About
Step into a night inspired by the Russian pop culture of the 2000s and 2010s—a time when we were all a little younger, a little freer, and every weekend felt like an adventure.One of the defining cinematic events of the early 2000s was *Night Watch* and its sequel *Day Watch*, directed by Timur Bekmambetov and based on Sergey Lukyanenko’s urban fantasy novels. Their world of Light and Dark Others has inspired the theme of this extraordinary evening.
On August 1st, all Others gather for a secret ball in the Asian Quarter.
At exactly 7:00 PM, the portal will open, transporting us twenty years into the past and into a parallel reality where the forces of Light and Darkness meet once again—this time on the dance floor.
The venue remains a mystery. Access is possible only through a hidden passage concealed within a laundromat. Follow the red lanterns, and they will guide you to the entrance.
Who are you—a Light Other or a Dark Other? Let your outfit reveal your allegiance. Or perhaps you are a mysterious guest whose true nature must remain hidden...
Dress Code: Urban Noir • Elegant Noir • Y2K Glamour • Light or Dark Mage • Elegant Vampire
And one important rule: 🕶️Dark sunglasses are mandatory. You will need them to enter the Twilight Zone.
Join us for a night of nostalgia, fantasy, music, and dancing as two worlds collide once again.
The Watch is gathering. Choose your side.
