The Starwood PufferDome
"In Xanadu did Kubla Kahn a stately pleasure-dome decree..."
- Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Rising from the field like Gaia's glowing nipple, tattooed in light and ringing
with music, the PufferDome is Starwood's own inflatable hemispherical pleasure palace!
The PufferDome is forty feet across and just as high, made from a white translucent
material that's perfect for projections that can be seen both from within and without.
The acoustics are weird and amazing, and the floor is grassy and perfect for dancing!
It is held aloft by positive pressure supplied by a large fan, and fresh air is
circulated constantly throughout. A sound system, video projectors, and special-effects
lighting make it a perfect place for concerts, movies, dance parties, workshops, and a
great space for light-stick poi, hooping and other games. Whether featuring DJs,
theater, performance art or a live band, the PufferDome is a unique psychedelic space
that must be experienced!
Waking Dream presents a multimedia
experience in the legendary PufferDome. Come be immersed in sights and sounds, as
Waking Dream presents an audio visual journey into the collective subconscious. The
PufferDome will feature nightly performances of live video mixing, DJs and live
performances. Also featured will be late night movie screenings and early evening
interactive electro-organic drum events in the PufferDome's unique acoustic
environment. Stay tuned for the exciting schedule as everything solidifies!
