Bacardi B-Live Unites the Uncombinable

What can bring together the directors of the world-famous Cirque du Soleil, the academic orchestra 'Virtuosos of Moscow', and the club diva Barbara Tucker? How does a new art genre emerge from the collaboration of top-class artists? On July 27, Russia hosts for the first time the theatrical performance B-Live. The unconventional rules of the game are dictated by the venue itself - a unique space that has never been used for club or music events before. For one night only, the organizers here will be acrobats, freaks, and mimes from Circo de Bakuza - the creators of the world's main circus institution, Cirque du Soleil. Conceived by director Carlito Dalceggio and producer Vincent Drolet, the internationally renowned Canadian Circo de Bakuza was born as a fusion of circus enthusiasts infused with club spirit and united by the thirst for innovation. For one night, the orchestra 'Virtuosos of Moscow' will exchange the academic stage for a club platform. For the first time, they will perform in front of an ultra-modern LED curtain instead of a soft velvet one. String and violin passages will merge with house beats, and the role of the conductor will be taken by St. Petersburg's best DJ according to the Night Life Awards 2004, DJ Kimbar. The dialogue between the DJ and the orchestra runs through the entire multi-hour show as a common thread, but, of course, the performance is not limited to it. For one night, four conceptual bars will emerge in the performance space. In the noble Classic bar, featuring a full range of traditional cocktails, the leader is Felix Lakhuti - a unique violinist, one of the few in Russia who plays a five-string electric violin masterfully. The Mojito bar, infused with freshness and home to the mysterious nymphs of Circo de Bakuza, offers a collection of versions of the famous mix, with the celebration overseen by Alexey Kozlov - a key figure in contemporary Russian jazz. The aristocratic and extraverted Glam bar is dedicated to daiquiris and other refined cocktails. Perhaps the most sophisticated venue of B-Live, it is not surprising that the Russian blues queen Victoria Pier-Marie runs it. The name of the musical leader of the Shot bar is known to anyone familiar with contemporary Russian music. Like the Shot bar itself, Nikolai Devlet-Kildeev (aka Kildey) is characterized by determination and courage, and his skillful guitar playing is arguably unmatched in Russia. The climax of the event will be the performances of the kings of the dance floor Cerrone and the house diva Barbara Tucker. By uniting the uncombinable, freely stepping over genre and stylistic barriers, B-Live gives birth to a fundamentally new form of performance, in which each of the attendees becomes a participant. A boundary-breaking celebration: generous, open, amazing - born to amaze. The meeting place cannot be changed: July 27, 2007, Moscow, Bacardi B-Live Place, Leningradsky Prospekt, 68. Entrance fee - 3,500 rubles.
