The Concept

BACARDÍ owned Halloween in New York kicking off the weekend in Brooklyn by teaming up with Kenzo Digital – the artist known for his groundbreaking work and use of technology in projects with the likes of Beyoncé, Kanye West, and the recent Samsung Social Galaxy – to flip the traditional concept of a haunted house on its head, and create a multi-sensory experience that captivated, thrilled, and frightened its visitors at the Brooklyn Navy Yard on Saturday night of Halloween weekend.

Known as ‘Nocturnal Awakening’ the installation featured various innovative technologies, visual and auditory effects meant to delve deep into the psyche of each visitor, and upend their notions of physical space, to create an unimaginable and emotionally vibrant evening they will never forget.  The structure itself was a two-floor, multi-room labyrinth that brought the bat – the creature most synonymous with the night and the icon of BACARDÍ – to life with a series of chilling installations that told the story of metamorphosis.

The latest in a series of artist collaborations from BACARDÍ, this mind-bending experience was poised to arrest visitors’ senses and revolutionize the idea of a haunted house, defining BACARDÍ as the true innovator and the rightful owner of Halloween.
