In June of this year,
downtown São Paulo gained a new
spot to further boost
nightlife in the
República neighborhood, in front of the
Copan building – and it was a big hit right away.
Love Cabaret has taken over social media and has been acclaimed by the public – whether they are fans of decoration or not. Behind all the lights and sets, which respect and
celebrate diversity , is the famous architect
Maurício Arruda .
The house has more than
500 m² and is run by the trio
Facundo Guerra, Cairê Aoas and Lily Scott . The space is highlighted by the lighting that refers to a
diamond that
radiates all the colors of the rainbow . For Maurício Arruda, it was essential to create a project that would encourage visitors to feel
free to enjoy and fulfill all their desires . "We basically wanted to talk about
free bodies , about multiple expressions that speak of love and sex, without necessarily entering the realm of pornography or any type of objectification of the body," says the architect.
From the old Love Story to the new venture
The starting point of the project was the
restoration of a disused floor , which previously alluded to the feathers of a peacock. Under Maurício's watchful eye, the peacock returned in several elements of the house, from the colors, freedom and joy that gave
life to the color palette . The
illuminated acrylic handrail was preserved, as was the mezzanine railing. Both were revamped, while the pole dances on the side of the stage remained and were given a
new look .
The bar has been moved and a
system of tables, bleachers and lounges has been implemented, which did not exist at the time of Love Story, and which now serve as resting places for the audience to enjoy all the performances. Regardless of where visitors are, they can count on a view of the stage. “The architecture speaks about freedom, pleasure and sex but without falling into stereotypes – like the color red, which was used discreetly and only one bathroom was given this tone. The predominant colors are lilac, aqua green, petrol blue, purple, navy blue and pink,” explains the architect.
