Centre d'Art Rodin offers a night of inspiration and mystery

City's art dwellers, ready for a unique Chinese New Year celebration? Join this immersive and dreamlike art adventure that blends traditional celebrations with thrilling mysteries!

This Friday, Centre d'Art Rodin (Shanghai) will host a unique nightlife party titled "INSOMNIA in RODIN," an art experience that combines mystery, creativity and Chinese New Year celebrations. The party will invite guests to explore the art center after dark, transformed into a dreamlike world where art and imagination intertwine.

Insomnia, often referred to as sleeplessness, symbolizes in this party a deep connection between night and inspiration: In (enter) Somnus (the Roman god of sleep) NIA (Night Inspiration & Aspiration), representing a sudden burst of inspiration at night. Rodin's sculptures, which evoke profound emotions under the moonlight, also reflect this theme of the fusion of soul and art in this night party.

Just as Musée Rodin who found inspiration in the quiet hours of the night to sculpt the monumental figure of Honoré de Balzac, "INSOMNIA in RODIN," is a celebration of sleepless nights and the endless inspiration that comes with them, where guests can unleash boundless inspiration and create a unique inner life art.

The night will begin with an interactive experience. In the dreamlike world of Rodin, visitors will journey through time and space, walking alongside legendary figures of the art world such as Monet, Van Gogh, Degas, Chopin, and George Sand.

Guests will undergo a special personality test to discover their soul-matched artist identity before entering the venue. Subsequently, guests will embark on a journey intertwined with fate to seek out their destined artist and collaborate with them to fulfill their unfulfilled dreams.

The event also features a tarot card fortune-telling game. Guests can experience the mysterious charm of tarot cards for free at the venue's "art hut," unveiling their fortune for the new year and welcoming a spring festival filled with miracles and inspiration.

For musical theater enthusiasts, this night party offers an audiovisual feast where guests will experience a special performance of "Romeo and Juliet" set within the dreamland of Rodin. Let the inspiration flow and soar with every note!

As midnight approaches, the most exciting highlight of this sleepless night art celebration – the Techno Party – is about to begin! The climax of the night will ignite with DJ music and a dazzling light show. Guests can indulge in select spirits and fully express themselves on the dance floor. With every beat, they can immerse their bodies and souls completely in the rhythm of the night.
