The NOIR Night Market presents an immersive event of a different kind: The Prohibition of Lust.
You know the city. The kind that never loved you back. The kind you could own if you play the game right: have a smoke. make a deal. tell a lie.
NOIR Night Market is a unique nightlife concept that brings elements of theater, interactive gameplay, live music, DJ sets, tattoos and cabaret into one cinematic, film-noir stylized party. The Night Market returns this weekend, but this time premiering integrated scenes from the original play that inspired it all, The Prohibition of Lust.
Guests are invited to hustle the unforgiving streets of Striker City, while several interwoven stories unfold throughout a labyrinth of motels, speakeasies and brothels. The story is centered around an illegal drug called Lust, a drug that dominates the underground market, drives political campaigns and gives its users a taste of their strongest desire. How deep the story goes depends on how clever you are at the crimes you commit and deals you make with the city’s night workers, private investigators and crooked cops. If you want to thrive in this city, come prepared to manipulate friends and charm strangers. Just be discreet. You’re likely being followed.
Around every corner you’ll find sultry live music, suspicious theater scenes, back-alley tattoos, big band accompaniment, femme fatale cabaret performances, and noir-influenced sets until morning.
The prohibition goes live Feb 23 & 24 at 19:00
Säälchen, Holzmarkt 25. Berlin
