VOLK
How did you come to be lost? (Dr. Zhivago)

The volk ( 'wolf' in Russian) is the core of this New Year's Eve night at Justine's. Everyone should come dressed formal and Russian and opulent, while inside is your animal self, the rabid, wild wolf that comes out on New Years Eve and takes over. How did you come to be lost?

The space itself will nod to Dr. Zhivago, and to the cinematic grandeur of snow palaces and winter trees and fur hats and black horse carriages. Justine's, with the help of artists like Douglas Little and Emily Hughes, will be transformed into an ice-glazed world under big movie lights, our mirrors broken, our chandeliers hung with haunting paperwhites and black branches, a black forest ready for you to hide in, to get chased, to chase someone.

And above it all, making snow for our broke-down folk tale of a Russian dreamscape: two snow machines turning the night white.

We'll be shooting two experimental films that night, with the amazing filmmakers at Mishnoon, and you'll be the stars.

We will ALSO be conducting a formal and exquisite portrait session of you kissing the one you love, or lust for, in your Russian finest against our red velvet backdrop.

Expect cigarette girls with imported smokes, a Russian angel on the swing who will pour champagne down your throat, two sets by Leila Bazzani behind a wolf mask and draped in fur, hot peasant food like borscht and steaming potatoes with bacon and cream to keep you going in the starry night, records spinning for hours to get you dancing, and many more jewels of surprises.

VOLK.
Everyone needs to get lost on New Years Eve. Find your wild self at Justine's.
