Salvador Dali’s Naked Feast
A PERFORMANCE INSTALLATION
COCKTAIL PARTY BENEFITING THE VORTEX
Bring on your surreal as we enter Dali’s universe with a performance installation cocktail party evoking and embodying his aesthetic and artistry. The performance installation fundraiser includes delicious food art on naked platters, live music, tango, aerials, burlesque, human canvas, live painting, large silent auction, Instagram contest, Dali’s original Casanova Cocktail, and decadent desserts.
Yes, Dali’s Naked Feast is an opportunity to graze from elegantly designed food art on beautiful naked bodies. Artistic hors d’oeuvres are designed with the culinary magic of our favorite chefs, Nic Patrizi and Lindsey Rock, feature vegan, meat, gluten-free, and dessert options. The Butterfly Bar serves up the Casanova Cocktail from Dali’s very own recipe. Salvador Dali himself will be in attendance. Music by Djamberry Caravan. We know that you will want to catch Ann Marie Gordon as the Ant Eater painting large ants. Toni Bravo dances the Tango with Dali. Betsy McCann Bromley reprises her role as Gala, Dali’s wife. Michelle Haché sings Italian art songs. Amber Quick winds down the evening with sultry jazz standards.
