Three Levels, One New Planet

Acting as the first major event of the Haus’s milestone year, Disco on Mars ties into MCM’s longstanding theme, “From Munich to Mars.” The experience is divided into three levels, each one challenging concepts of time and space while connecting the brand’s heritage to the future.

Level 0: The Lab

The ground floor is where sound becomes science with technology leading the rhythm. A single robotic arm anchors the space, while archival pieces preserved in glass map fifty years of the Haus's evolution and its vision for the future.

Exclusive pieces created in collaboration with Atelier Biagetti extend MCM’s upcycled Visetos monogram into new designs. Geometric candles, free weights, a robot-inspired pouf, and a futuristic helmet compose this selection of everyday objects reimagined for life on Mars.

To commemorate this special event, iconic MCM bags are available in white, cognac, and silver Visetos alongside limited-edition Weekenders, bearing a Mars‑inspired monogram.

Level 1: Disco MARS

One level up, the Disco becomes the beating heart of the experience: a rollerskating rink turned dance floor, with a robot DJ setting the vibe based on music curated by Sound Metaphor DJs. Human and robot skaters share the arena as choreographed performances and disco lights blur the boundaries between 70s pop culture and a far‑off, Mars‑bound tomorrow. Here, sound transforms into a more human beat — playful, social, yet still distinctly artificial.

Level 2: Diva Dome

The dome of Rotonda del Pellegrini becomes a meditative soundscape where the human voice acts as an ancestral technology, bridging the past and future. The operatic voice of Laura Baldassari - performing Casta Diva, the celebrated aria from Norma by Vincenzo Bellini - transforms into something almost post-human through an original sound production by Michele Tadini. At the center of the dome, a sculptural avatar sits looking upwards towards the future, creating an atmosphere of suspension and focused presence.

MCM X VETSAK

Within the exhibition space, MCM x vetsak furniture pieces will be displayed as part of the scenography, adding tactile and contemporary seating elements that enhance the overall presentation. Conceived as “the landing pad for the global nomad”, these comfort pieces live at the crossroads of collectible design and everyday use. Each pouf is designed to adapt seamlessly to modern lifestyles, offering modular flexibility and exceptional softness while maintaining a strong visual identity.
