The Red Pavilion256 Ingraham Street, New York 11237
Tomoya Ogawa’s Cinema Paradiso brings a Lynchian jazz noir set to The Red Pavilion, drawing on music from Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive, Lost Highway and Wild at Heart. The evening moves through torch songs, ballads and other cinematic themes shaped around David Lynch’s dreamworld.
The Red Pavilion offers a striking blend of Asian neo-noir aesthetics and live jazz performances that create a captivating evening. The venue’s interior channels a 1960s Hong Kong vibe with red lanterns, velvet curtains, and smoky lighting that envelop the room in a cinematic glow. Guests can expect a dynamic program featuring jazz, cabaret, aerial performances, and culturally rich events that honor AAPI heritage. The space functions as a teahouse by day and transforms into a sultry nightclub with a full bar serving inventive Asian herbal cocktails by night. Shows often include multiple sets and sometimes late-night DJ sessions, encouraging both attentive listening and socializing. The Red Pavilion’s intimate stage brings performers close to the audience, making every note and movement feel immediate and immersive.
