On Febuary 12, 2009, international burlesque starlet and multi-media artist Angela Eve (Eve's Parlor Burlesque / Twisted Tassel Burlesque Festival / Image Collective) collaborates with multi-disciplinary artist and designer Christophe Gauspohl (M5 Artist Collective / Greysheep Design Lab / UNSCENE Urban Navigator) as they present a truly unique event in Chicago - The Elysian Ball. Orchestrated as a modern interpretation of a classic speakeasy concept, this event showcases a well-curated variety of erotic-based performances in conjunction with interactive installations, fashion exhibits, video art and more.

Extravagant theatrics and performances will fuse various artistic mediums into a spatial narrative. A 9,000 sq. ft. loft space in Chicago's west loop will be transformed into a circus-like environment which will welcome the audience into a deeply sensual environment combining old world sensibilities with new technologies, conjuring a winter escape of wonder and spectacle.
