BÈL RÈV BRINGS AN ELEGANT CIRCUS DINNER THEATRE CONCEPT TO ATLANTA THIS SEPTEMBER AT THE GOAT FARM’S NEW VENUE, LOOP

Bèl Rèv is Atlanta's dreamy circus dinner theater that sets the table and the stage for a night of live performances, culinary delights, and unforgettable revelry

Bèl Rèv, Atlanta’s dreamy circus dinner theater, will premiere with proof-of-concept shows at LOOP in West Midtown on September 18 & 19, 2026. The debut experience will weave live circus performances, a curated four-course dinner, music, drag, storytelling, and artful design into an evening where imagination becomes tangible and possibility feels expansive.

Founded by movement artist and engineering graduate Monica Martelly, in collaboration with executive chef and culinary creative Mwandisha Gaitor of 2 Pieces of Toast, Bèl Rèv was created to expand what live performance can be in Atlanta. Its mission is to produce bold, engaging experiences while creating more space, visibility, and professional opportunities for the city’s creatives, particularly artists from historically marginalized communities.

With Atlanta’s celebrated food scene and thriving arts communities, Bèl Rèv offers a distinctive opportunity to bring culinary and performing arts together. Every part of the evening is thoughtfully connected, inviting guests to experience the food, performances, music, and environment as one unfolding story.

The multidisciplinary production will feature a unique variety of circus acts, live music, drag, and interactive art installations. Guests will be guided through the journey by the Dreamweaver–portrayed by Atlanta drag phenomenon Dotte Com–and a diverse cast of artists will perform pieces inspired by different dream archetypes: the surreal, the beautiful, the bizarre, and the hopeful. From aerial acts and juggling to flying pole, each performance contributes to a larger story about the magic of dreaming big and lifting each other up.

Throughout the evening, four curated courses complement the performance, crafted using local, seasonal, and sustainable ingredients. Guests will have the choice of “Earth,” “Land,” or “Sea” entrees, each thoughtfully composed and beautifully plated. Food is woven into the Bèl Rèv experience as part of the storytelling, not simply served alongside it, creating moments of connection, indulgence, and surprise as the performance unfolds. The result is a culinary experience designed to engage the senses and enhance the journey.

As a proof-of-concept production, Bèl Rèv is designed to demonstrate the artistic impact and market potential of a permanent circus dinner theater in Atlanta. Backed by experienced circus performers, technical designers, local culinary leaders, musicians, and event production professionals, Bèl Rèv is building a sustainable model for multidisciplinary collaboration and high-caliber live productions, while providing an unforgettable and inspiring experience for dreamers from all walks of life.
