The challenge

A brand-new show, a new city, and a room like no other

Vau de Vire Society, San Francisco’s avant-cabaret collective, brought an original, magnificent production to Los Angeles: a Soaring ’20s, circus-infused, four-course dinner experience created with Chef Neal Fraser of Redbird | Vibiana, with Angelo Moore (of Fishbone) & the Missing Links providing the live soundtrack.

The show needed a brand identity people would remember, a look and verve worthy of an 1876 cathedral's legacy, a home online, and an audience in one of the most crowded entertainment markets in the country. It got it.
