Lake Como

We crafted a bespoke, immersive experience for a client’s birthday at Villa Balbiano in Lake Como, Italy. A brand-new storyline was developed to feature the client, their family, and the spectacular location. We hand-cast performers and personally transported costumes to Lake Como, ensuring every detail was perfect.

The birthday present—a necklace—was intricately woven into the narrative. The antique, locked in a safe, became a surprise element in the story that guests had to unveil.We strategically placed furniture, arranged props and slipped personalised notes under guests’ bedroom doors. Film posters were also photoshopped to feature familiar faces, ensuring the story captured every possible detail.

With secrets and detective work, the event was incredibly immersive, as characters formed alliances with guests to enhance and encourage engagement. Every element, from the performers’ body language to their backstories, was cleverly considered, elevated and luxurious – think red-carpet-ready glamour.
