WATO's Extravagant 'Le Bal des Morts' in Paris

In a bold return to the scene, the Parisian event planning agency WATO (We Are The Oracle) is gearing up to unveil 'Le Bal des Morts', an extraordinary immersive event that promises attendees an experience like no other. Set against the backdrop of a secret manor in Paris, the event is scheduled for the evening of April 25, 2026, and is expected to attract the most passionate party enthusiasts from around the globe.

This unique masquerade ball is themed around 'the most extravagant funeral of your life', effectively transforming an ordinary event into a collaborative and immersive piece of art. Guests are invited to don costumes that resonate with a neo-gothic chic aesthetic, drawing inspiration from iconic figures like Morticia Addams, Edward Scissorhands, Dracula, the Baron Samedi, and the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland. The atmosphere will channel the elegance of 19th-century mortuary vigils, complete with immersive theatre, rituals, stunning performances, and an electrifying dance floor.

To assist guests in their costume choices, a dedicated concierge service will be available, offering help with buying, renting, or custom-making outfits. This initiative is reminiscent of the grand masquerade balls that have made venues such as Venice, Versailles, and Vienna famous, catering to those who appreciate festivities as an art form.

About WATO

Founded in 2011, WATO emerged from a radical idea—to bring creativity and mystery to Parisian nights. Initially starting with clandestine dinners held in the most secret spots in Paris (such as the Catacombs, an abandoned Rothschild chateau, and a ghost station of the Petite Ceinture), WATO quickly garnered attention from major media outlets, transitioning into grand public celebrations that host thousands of costumed guests in spectacular settings.

From 2016 onwards, WATO has channeled its creative DNA into producing exceptional dinners and immersive experiences for some of the world's leading brands, including LVMH, L'Oréal, Meta, Amazon, Google, and Sony. Today, its influence spans across Europe, from London to Venice, Berlin, Madrid, Lisbon, and St. Moritz. The agency unites a talented team of artistic, strategic, and technical professionals, all driven by a shared obsession—to create unforgettable experiences where cinema and events converge.
