The Venue

  • Qube Roma –  spans three floors, each with distinct atmospheres: the ground floor handles pop/commercial and visible performance space; middle levels host darker, more alternative zones and sometimes lap-dance / dark-room areas; top floor is oriented toward house/techno with a raised DJ area and terrace overlooking the dance floor.
  • During Muccassassina nights, the production is intense: LED walls and screens, theatrical drag and performance elements, changing themes, and strong visual identity (logo, video montages) integrated into the music flow.
  • The design is industrial and raw, with exposed steel stairways, open layouts, multiple bars, outdoor garden (usable when weather permits), dark rooms, private nooks. The space is flexible to shift between energetic dancing and more intimate zones.

Getting There
