Press Play

MERIVALE PRESENTS PRESS PLAY 

Inspired by the hypnosis of moonlight on the natural world, Merivale presents Press Play – a new immersive experience of light, sound, costume, and choreography taking over ivy as part of Vivid Sydney. 

Key info:  

Held across two nights, guests will be taken on a transformative journey through ivy’s two-level atrium, featuring kinetic and projection mapped light installations, bespoke ambient soundscapes, fog, haze, live DJs and unique, roaming performers. 

At the heart of Press Play will be 10 avant-garde performers dressed in bespoke fashion garments created by costume designer, fashion designer and stylist Kirsty Barros along with creative project lead and stylist Alisha Rich. Each item is inspired by the city of Tokyo, Balenciaga, and Anthony Howe’s collaboration with Iris van Herpen, the pieces are designed to disrupt the norm, inspire exploration, and attract the eye to dance. 

Press Play is a free event and guests can book a one-hour session from 6pm, after 9:30pm until late the space will transform into an 18+ only event.  

Following your journey through Press Play, dine at MuMu, Bar Totti's, Felix, Ash St. Cellar, Mr. Wong, Jimmy's Falafel or uccello after 9:30pm with a group of four or more, and Merivale will shout you and your table a round of signature cocktails.
