Ghoul's Night Out

Overview

UPDATE: FEBRUARY 20, 2020 — This event has been rescheduled from February 20 to February 27.

If you've visited the Art Gallery of NSW's spooky and surreal Japan Supernatural exhibition, you'll probably be familiar with Kentaro Yoshida's Night procession of the hundred demons. The colourful four-part mural features many shapeshifting creatures called yōkai and ghost-like figures called yūrei, which are about to be brought to life in the heart of the CBD for two weeks.

An augmented reality version of the Night procession of the hundred demons will pop up in World Square from February 18. And it won't just be art popping up in the Square, either — there'll also be a ghoulish food crawl, DJs, makeup artists and a silent screening of Tim Burton's The Corpse Bride happening on Thursday, February 27. You'll need to register for the film over here.

Four of the shopping centre's eateries will create one-off creations for the evening. You'll find a black tsukemen ramen — made using squid ink and soft shell crab — at Ramen Zundo, unagi karaage at Yayoi, a slider combo at Grill'd and an adorable yōkai and yūrei dessert made by Hokkaido and Pafu. If you manage to eat all of them, you can win prizes, too.

If you miss out on the one-night feast, you'll still be able to catch the AR installation until March 8.
