The long-awaited Pacha Ibiza party starts from the past, from the present, but dancing towards the future.
The opening of one of the most awaited parties of the season is finally approaching: El Baile, which will take place every Thursday -starting July 7th-, at Pacha Ibiza. After more than two months of rehearsals, artistic production, decoration, scenography, technological artifacts that conclude in a spectacular production.
‘El Baile’ is a tribute to the history of the island and to dance itself as a symbol of freedom, all looking to the future. A concept, created by Olivier de Busturia (Doumi San) of Nomad Suntribe, that tries to move away from the DJ-centric model to offer an artistic experience that tells a story.
