Chicago's Redmoon Theater, which is known for its dreamy, surrealistic style, recently hosted its first New Year's Eve party. Held in the company's Pilsen warehouse and dubbed "Revolution," the night featured several fresh ideas for food and beverage services. From silk aerialists pouring champagne to a server dropping cookies from a half-moon, here's a look at off-the-wall ideas from the unusual night.
The performers swooped down on silk swaths to drop the fruits into guests' mouths.

One server rolled around on a Segway-like contraption that held a keg of beer. He rolled up to guests and poured drinks on the spot.

Aerialists in giant swaths of silk manned "sky trays," which were elevated trays holding items such as strawberries and grapes.

While waiting at the bar, guests were surrounded by a cloud of bubbles that poured out of a nearby machine.

Perched high above the crowd, a performer in a half-moon-shaped contraption had a basket of fortune cookies that she lowered down to the crowd.

Silk aerialists also descended from the center a giant chandelier made of wine bottles. The severs poured champagne into flutes below.

Another classic Redmoon contraption, the Wine Bike, roved around the event space. A server perched on the bike's high seat poured wine from a bottle by using a crank; guests held out their glasses to collect the stream.

A central highboy table held a glowing punch fountain, which servers ladled into plastic cups.

In what would be typical only at a Redmoon event, a performer dressed as Marie Antoinette circulated with a dessert table strapped around her waist. The tablecloth—also part of her dress—was strewn with rose petals.
