To discombobulate is to amusingly confuse, delightfully bewilder, or cheerfully knock someone off their usual track. It’s the kind of playful chaos that stirs the imagination, tickles the intellect, and leaves you blinking—yet smiling. A spark ignited by unexpected twists, wild ideas, and a mischievous sense of wonder.
Join Laetitia Barbier and Andrea Asté for a free evening of merriment to celebrate the launch of The Discombobulator—a luxury esoteric journal and creative playground brought to life by the inimitable Andrea Asté.
This special gathering marks the debut issue, featuring presentations from some of the magazine’s distinguished contributors:
The Enigma of Piazza Castello
Kevin Moore, Photographer & Theatre Performer
Through evocative black-and-white photography and poetic narration, Moore explores Turin’s occult traditions—a rich meditation on architecture, memory, and the magical resonance of place.Gustav Meyrink and the Mystical Labyrinth: A Tarot-Inspired Stroll through the Life of the Golem’s Creator
Kirsten Buchholzer, Author & Founder of the Geheimnisakademie
