"An elegant, all-green room, meant to evoke a garden party in Los Angeles's Griffith Park, was the setting for an intimate performance by the one and only Diana Ross. In a glimmering red-and-silver gown, Ross, accompanied by two back-up singers, hit the stage on Wednesday night to "I'm Coming Out," one of the all-time gay anthems, and the room went wild."
""I wanted Mirage Factory to be a kind of a visual poem, in a way, about certain movements that happened that were so significant to the city's creation," Prager told ARTnews in a recent interview. "It's a feeling of 'what if' that is just ever present-it's addictive. If you dream big naturally, then you need to dream big there because everything is possible there.""
"Ross performed between the first and second courses of a Los Angeles-inspired menu, designed by Dave Beran, who runs Seline and Pasjoli in Santa Monica, California. Prior to dinner, which included a scallop topped with caviar and a short rib dish, guests could munch on a mustard leaf that was dipped in a passionfruit sauce and then dipped into dry ice"
An elegant all-green room evoking a Griffith Park garden party hosted Diana Ross for an intimate, roughly 20-minute performance in a glimmering red-and-silver gown with two back-up singers. The set mixed Supremes-era hits like "Baby Love" and "Stop! In the Name Love" with covers such as "I Will Survive," while a looped video of the LA skyline played and Ross moved gracefully, using a red feather fan. The event celebrated Mirage Factory, an immersive Miami Beach installation commissioned by Capital One and the Cultivist, featuring three slices of Los Angeles history and a 1:12-scale Hollywood Boulevard centerpiece. A Los Angeles-inspired menu by Dave Beran accompanied the performance.
