Sensory Club
Club Silencio is a quirky new experience in Buenos Aires. Inspired by the film Mulholland Drive, it aims to take your subconscious on a rollercoaster ride.
There’s no doorbell, no sound and no light as you arrive. Only the crowd waiting in the street brings some reassurance that you are at the correct venue. Then the door opens, revealing a silver mask and a finger commanding silence. A blindfold robs you of your sight, and stimulates your imagination while relaxing to original music by the Argentinean-Jewish songwriter, Shoni Shed.
Between songs feathers delight you, massages sedate you and smells capture you, transporting you toward the ethereal world. When blindfolds are removed natural world films play, as Shoni’s intense yet soothing voice sinks you deeper into your seat.

Josh,
It’s fun to catch up on your travels – you are a great writer! I’m really sorry to hear Caroline’s experience on the previous post and glad she’s okay – definitely scary. Hope you had a great Christmas and New Years! Keep em’ coming. Say hi to Caroline for us. We miss you guys-

Hi there,
Club Silencio sounds like quite the experience! I am heading to Buenos Aires for just over a week, and would like to know whether you’d recommend this to a non-Spanish speaking solo female traveller. I’m attempting to learn basic Spanish now, but it’ll definitely not be up to scratch for anything that will be entirely in Spanish.
Thanks!
