The Dream

Bèl Rèv is Atlanta’s dreamy circus dinner theater.

Translating to “Beautiful Dream” in Haitian Creole, Bèl Rèv is where boundary-pushing circus arts take flight, seasonal cuisine delights every sense, and reality loosens its grip. It exists for the dreamers, the revelers, the ones who believe that a single night or perspective shift can change what you know is possible.

Founded by Haitian dreamer, movement artist, and Georgia Tech engineering graduate Monica Martelly, Bèl Rèv is the creative solution to the issues of limited opportunities for professional circus arts employment in the city. The circus dinner theater format is widely popular in Europe and has been growing in reputation in the US as well, with various productions popping up in major cities and tourist destinations across the nation.

The Experience

This September, we invite you to step inside the dream for the first time and get a taste of this concept we’ve been dreaming of. Our debut show at LOOP will be a two-night event to give you a glimpse of the permanent home we are working to build: An elevated and modern space designed for circus arts, for local & seasonal culinary creations, and for the magic of dreaming big.

The Space

We are exceedingly grateful for the opportunity to curate a temporary proof-of-concept experience at this brand new venue, LOOP in West Midtown, powered by the Goat Farm and supported by Georgia Tech Arts.

Our long-term vision is to gather a Dream Team of collaborators and donors to build out a permanent home in Atlanta: A space we will renovate and reimagine into a modern circus dinner theater, creating jobs, nurturing artists, and expanding what is possible for arts and entertainment in this city — A place where the dream lives on all year long and where magic is always on the menu.

If you want to be a part of the dream, we invite you to connect with us on social media or reach out directly to bel.rev.atl@gmail.com.

FAQs

What is Bèl Rèv?
chevron_right

Bèl Rèv is a dreamy circus dinner theater and immersive experience. Translating to “Beautiful Dream” in Haitian Creole, Bèl Rèv is where boundary-pushing circus arts take flight, seasonal cuisine delights every sense, and reality loosens its grip, setting the tone for an evening of wonder, possibilities, & revelry. Performance art and immersive design are intentionally woven together to transport audiences into a charming dreamscape where imagination becomes tangible & possibility feels expansive. Bèl Rèv exists for the dreamers, the revelers, the ones who know that a single night or perspective shift can change what you believe is possible.

What can I expect?
chevron_right

Circus, Food, Drinks, and Immersive Art! The evening will start when you check in and enter our dream world. Drinks and appetizers will welcome you and stimulate your pallet as you explore and feast your eyes on the decor and immersive stations. Once everyone has found their seats and made friends with their neighbors, the main event of the night will begin - a plated multi-course dinner service intentionally woven together with a circus variety show of aerial and ground acts, made to dazzle and delight all your senses.

What’s on the menu? Can I make substitutions?
chevron_right

Our menu is curated as part of the full Bèl Rèv experience: thoughtful, delicious, and a little dreamlike. We’ll share the full menu closer to the event date, but vegan/vegetarian options and common dietary accommodations will be available. Guests will also have a chance to note allergies and/or dietary restrictions when purchasing tickets.

Do I get to pick my seats? What are the pricing tiers?
chevron_right

Seating will be assigned based on ticket tier and party size so we can create the best experience for everyone in the room. We’ll have a limited number of VIP seats closest to the action, Premium seats in the center, and Standard admission seating throughout the space. Full pricing details will be announced when tickets go on sale, but tickets will range from $150 - $200 per person. Sponsorship opportunities are also available at individual and group levels for those interested in supporting the dream even further.

How long will the evening last?
chevron_right

Plan for a full evening out. The experience will last approximately 2-3 hours from arrival to final bow, including time to settle in, explore the space, enjoy food and drinks, and experience the performances.

Where is this happening? What is the venue?
chevron_right

Bèl Rèv will take place in Atlanta’s newest arts venue, LOOP, which is a collaboration between The Goat Farm and Georgia Tech, and is located in West Midtown at 665 Marietta Street, Atlanta, GA 30313. You can learn more about this incredible space at loopatl.space.

What time should I arrive?
chevron_right

Doors will open at 6:30pm. We recommend arriving well before the doors close at 7:30pm, as there will be immersive stations to explore and a stocked bar with curated drinks to enjoy!

Is there late seating?
chevron_right

No. Because the performance is immersive and carefully timed, late seating is NOT permitted and anyone arriving after 7:30pm risks being turned away without refund. We recommend arriving early so you have time to check in, grab a drink, explore, and fully enter the dream with us.

Is there parking?
chevron_right

Yes. LOOP provides plenty of secured parking for $5 per vehicle. As always in Atlanta, please do not leave anything valuable in your vehicle. While we are not responsible for damage or theft, there will be a courtesy officer on site for the duration of the event.

Are photos and videos allowed?
chevron_right

Photos are welcome before, during, and after the performance, and there will be beautiful moments throughout the space worth capturing. During the show, we simply request that guests keep phone use as discreet as possible, without the use of flash, so everyone can stay present and the performers can do their work safely.

What is the intention of this event?
chevron_right

Bèl Rèv is an invitation to dream together. We’re creating an elegant, immersive circus dinner theatre experience that brings people into a world of wonder, connection, artistry, and possibility — while helping build more diverse space for circus, performance, and creative opportunity in Atlanta.
