The Círculo de Bellas Artes prepares one more year for its particular celebration of Halloween with its most mysterious party: the Night of the Dead and Witches. Beasts, witches, catrinas and demons are summoned to this coven, where spirits and creatures from beyond will take over the historic Madrid building to transform it.
The emblematic Madrid building will concentrate the party in the Salón de Baile and among the marbles of the Sala de Columnas, the space will become a “collective incantation”. Unrestrained dancing, stunning performances and surprises await in every corner of the emblematic Círculo.
The tradition of the Círculo de Bellas Artes’ party posters has been part of the history of design in Spain since its first Baile de Máscaras in 1891. On this occasion, the responsibility for the image falls to Ana Chávez, Mexican visual artist and illustrator.
Who are the DJs and artists who will resurrect the animas?
To stage this wild rite, a coven of DJs and artists has been brought together to resurrect the souls with demonic rhythms. The music will be the absolute protagonist, fusing styles ranging from cumbia to reggaeton and mambo.
This year’s line-up stands out for its diversity and avant-garde sound. It will feature essential figures of the Latin and electronic clubbing scene, including: Sonido Tupinamba (with its afro-tropical and disco-funk fusions), Meneo (Rigo Pex, with his retro-futuristic pop universe), Andy Grey (mixing Latin rhythms and avant-garde electronica), and the La Gateria collective (with its sound exploration of reggaeton and dancehall). The list is completed with live formats such as Tambor Digital, as well as sessions by Piti Vaccari, Eme DJ, and Mila Moon, whose music becomes a tool for celebration, identity and freedom.
