The Monterrey edition marked a larger-scale expansion of Shanghai Café — a higher-capacity gathering that amplified the platform’s immersive identity within the industrial energy of downtown MTY. Hosted at Venue 867, the event embraced a more expansive production design, adapting the venue into a fully articulated spatial experience.

Rastro led the complete production design of the night, shaping the atmosphere through scenography, lighting systems, and visual identity integration.

Laser installations activated the volume of the space, cutting through haze and emphasizing architectural depth. At the center of the main room, a giant Chinese coin structure was designed and installed as the DJ booth backdrop — functioning as both symbolic anchor and visual focal point. The piece translated cultural reference into large-scale scenography, reinforcing Shanghai Café’s graphic universe within the physical environment.

In addition to the spatial intervention, a full photographic and video documentation was developed. Disposable cameras were distributed among guests, encouraging them to capture the night from an unfiltered, personal perspective. This gesture introduced an organic counterpoint to the high-production environment — blending curated visuals with raw, collective memory.
