Purgatorio

The interactive Halloween experience Purgatorio will play the Times Square area, taking over a tri-level, 15,000 square foot nightclub space at 268 W. 47th Street, October 15-31. 

Produced by Simon Hammerstein and Randy Weiner, founding partners of downtown hotspot The Box, Purgatorio will offer an adults-only immersion in a multi-level world of macabre fantasy complete with interactive variety acts and installations, all set in a dynamic environment that aims to be at once frightening, erotic, and whimsical.

The creative team will include David Korins (production/scenic design), Emilio Sosa (costume design), and Evan Morris (lighting design).
