Lux Lumis

Wonderland.
While attending a pretty excellent themed party just North of Chicago, I thought I was seeing the most amazing things already the moment i got there. The theme was an Alice in Wonderland themed party, and the hostess also invited some additional «Characters» to musically and visually enhance the evening. As one of the guests, I was enjoying myself happily with the whimsical theme which was decorated throughout the space, which included all of the players from Alice in Wonderland. As the party continued, I thought the magic was in the décor, the hostess, and the fellow guests, and then, out of seemingly no where, arrived the «main event.» Lux Lumis. Now I had no idea what to expect.
A DJ magically dropped some mystical beats and out of smoke (fog machine) comes a magical creature! It’s a person on stilts in a neon enhanced costume, glowing in psychedelic colors with LED flashing lights and hoops spinning while about 10′ tall! A couple more magical creatures come creeping out of the smoke with various costumes, dances and spins as well and… all the sudden we had a full on modern day interpretation of a magical Alice in Wonderland Tea Party! This party transformed even more while i stood in awe of performances and music I never expected.
The rest of the guests huddled around while photos were furiously snapped to try and catch and save a glimpse of the magic spinning before us. It felt like we were actually in some form of Wonderland as this was no house any longer… we had definitely gone down the rabbit hole and now are hanging with the dwellers of Wonderland, Lux Lumis, watching and interacting as they perform for and with us. It was magical.
I must say, this was one great party and it seemed to get better by the moment. Starting with the decoration. The space itself immediately transformed into whimsical, cartoon land, immersing the guests into Wonderland. All of the characters from the Disney adaptation of the movie were there. And then the performances added an even deeper element to the mystique. There is nothing better than a theme party that goes above and beyond the expected and makes the theme a reality.
