THE BOX and Brassaii Noir to Present CULTURE/SHOCK This Month

Unlike anything you've seen or experienced before, THE BOX is the exclusive "cabaret nouveau" theatre of varieties concept anchored in New York and London. Not for the faint of heart, CULTURE/SHOCK is immersive, visually striking, and provocative. A transformed Brassaii with THE BOX's production will feature captivating performances that are boldly entertaining and risqué.

Founded by Simon Hammerstein, grandson of America's most influential theatrical lyricist and librettist Oscar Hammerstein II, THE BOX tours the globe with its innovative productions to Monte Carlo, Ibiza, Shanghai, Cannes, Istanbul, Moscow, Stockholm, Singapore, and many more. Their pedigree of past events includes The White House Correspondents Dinner, The Monaco Grand Prix, The Royal Palace of Istanbul, and the Bloomberg summer picnic, among others.

"We're thrilled to be hosting such a captivating and cutting-edge event," said Niels Dekker, Director of Marketing, Brassaii. "As Toronto has grown, so has the interest in a new level of entertainment; CULTURE/SHOCK is just that."

Brassaii is nestled amidst a romantic cobblestone courtyard patio with a rich architectural heritage, integrated with modern trends of progressive, SOHO-inspired design innovations: a perfect fit for CULTURE/SHOCK's whimsical, royal court performances and installations.
