LUCENT ENCHANTMENT SOCIETY Returns with Residency at Clifton's Cafeteria

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 forLucent 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 Wednesday, 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 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.
