Mizner’s Masqué | Live Action Attractions

A photogenic dream of chase & discovery

The Masquerade Party

CNS Summit 2022

In which we are transported
to a fabulous masquerade ball at
the historic Boca Raton resort.

And meet its legendary creator,
the architect Addison Mizner.

Each of us, a rare element,
waiting to be found.

Our play tonight?

FIND THE OTHERS.

The sun. The moon. The earth
and sea. Exotic jungle green.

We raw elements — when
combined – astounding to behold!

Master Mizner composes
these fellowships to reveal our
most sublime expressions.

Shall we look upon
the masterpiece of the story
we told together?

We come to back here
again and again to discover
and create anew.

Perhaps the game we play
tonight is not so different?

( In which Mizner beguiles that he will transform the unincorporated village of Boca Raton
into“the first tailor-made city in all the world,” styled on the architecture of romantic Spain. )

Magic Portrait 1 : Mizner’s Magnetism

The master works as quickly
as he can, but the night is always
too short to meet everyone.
Please do step lively.

( Of 1926, in which February opens the very Boca Raton resort where we dance and play tonight…
and September’s Great Hurricane destroys Boca Raton, Mizner’s career and starts the Great Depression. )

Magic Portrait 2 : Mizner’s Maelstrom

Though, from time
to time, circumstances may tear us all asunder…

We watch these
fellowships thrive.

( In which visionary architect Addison Mizner enjoys a lush stylistic legacy standing yet today,
— despite no education, no architectural plans committed to paper, and uniformly unverifiable stories of Spain.)

Magic Portrait 3 : Mizner’s Mythos

Thank you friends — once strangers —
for this magic masquerade. And the tale
of a beachside oasis – a tale we told together.

Brent Bishop is Addison Mizner.
