The capital’s celebrity crowd stepped out for an evening that combined live performances, music and the spectacle of a modern-day carnival as Commune Circus made its debut at One8 Commune, Aerocity.Actors, cricketers, creators and social personalities turned up for the launch, with Karan Wahi, Mouni Roy, Shikhar Dhawan, Ishant Sharma, Prince Narula, Yuvika Chaudhary and Elnaaz Norouzi among those on the guest list. Vikas Kohli, Shefali Bagga, Abhishek Kapoor and Umesh Yadav were also spotted at the evening.The event, hosted by True Palate Hospitality and presented by its co-founder Vartik Tihara, was curated by actor Karan Wahi. The venue took on a carnival-inspired look, with live circus acts, immersive performances and interactive elements woven into the evening.Music was another highlight, with electronic music duo Progressive Brothers bringing a high-energy set to the celebrations. Rather than a conventional nightlife format, the evening brought together performance, visual production and music to create an experience designed around audience participation.For Wahi, who curated the concept, the idea was to bring together different forms of entertainment in a way that felt fresh and engaging. “Every act and performance was carefully curated to create an engaging and memorable evening,” he said, adding that seeing guests become part of the experience made the debut particularly special.The evening marked the first edition of Commune Circus, a new experience-led format from True Palate Hospitality, the company behind One8 Commune, Neuma and Pincode. The concept is set to travel to several of the group’s destinations, with upcoming editions planned at One8 Commune outlets in Mumbai, Goa, Gurugram, Jaipur and Hyderabad, before concluding the tour at Neuma, Mumbai.
