Rising from the dust for its second year, the Teatro di Sorient returns as a more tessellated avatar. In this year, the teatro compound will offer new sensory experiences combined with heightened spacial viewing and featuring old world hospitality.

The Structure

Our theater is 3 floors tall, the architecture features three faces of viewing direction in "c" shape. The structure is built from pallet rack. Teatro di Sorientoffers an immersive plush experience where the 4th wall is completely exploded. Music, dance, spoken word and free form play are all encouraged with some scheduled and mostly open format interactions.

The Opera Boxes

The opera boxes provide elevated views of the playa, rest, shade and comfort. Each box has it's own foam bedding and curtain that can be closed or opened depending on the needs of the occupant. Ladders provide access to each floor. All floors of the teatro are open to the playa 24 hours a day. The opera boxes are idea for dancing, watching the playa from above, listing to music, resting after singing at our karaoke stage, attending one of our yet to be scheduled lectures or enjoying sunrise with a cup of our tea from our bar.

The H20 Sparkling water and Tea bar

Nestled within the cafe is a plush journey into a soul cavern of love. The Disorient pornj stars welcome the playa to our teatro. Our bartenders will be slinging pink herbal teas and cold bubbling water to the teatro patrons and performers. A plush bar atmosphere evokes the liquid soul of the 1970s.

The Light Tunnel

Featured in the Teatro compound is a light installation with a journey that starts with UV black light the fluorescent color wlll move your through LPS, extremely low CRI. This section removes the ability to distinguish color. It is as close as one can get to being in a black and white film in real life. The tunnel continues to HMI + fan, a super bright full color spectrum and wind, a sensory roller coaster and visual palette cleanser.

First year of the Teatro
Desire for a Disorient theater was born from the 2015 Disorient Country Club installation Liberace Karaoke and Piano Bar that was shown at CC 2015 and Glamtech 2015. We believed using a semi enclosed Dome paired with pallet racking would be interesting bones from which to build a theater.

Teatro di Sorient

Welcome to Teatro di Sorient, house of Pornj. Luxuriate in our plush shaded opera boxes and cheer for your friends as they serenade the esplanade during the Liberace Piano and Karaoke Bar hour. Hit the floor and run your own pockets to compete in the Disorient Western Division World Championship Dice Games. Rest your weary feet in our foam beds and watch the sun rise or set above the playa. In the heat of the day, enjoy a frozen minty towel, while resting in shaded cabanas in the center of the action, no spectators, only lounging protagonists and players.

The Structure

Our theater is 3 level C-shaped semi circle built from pallet rack. The structure offers an immersive plush experience where the 4th wall is completely exploded. Music, dance, spoken word and free form play are all encouraged with some scheduled and mostly open format interactions.

The Opera Boxes

The “Opera boxes” provide elevated views of the playa, rest, shade and comfort. Each box has it's own bedding and curtain that can be closed or opened depending on the needs of the occupant. As in the original tradition of opera boxes, the hotbed of passion and intrigue is always in the chambers themselves. Matthew has suggested we find an easy LED solution to having each opera box illuminated with individualized interactive colored lights.

Dome

Dome features a shared sound system with Teatro di Sorient. The dome is home to our yoga series, ReOrient as well as the Disorient built Zero G chairs. The unique shape makes one feel weightless, allowing for a special spinal relaxation unique to the Zero G model. These chairs are a perfect place for listening to our DJs or attending one of our yet to be scheduled lectures.
