Welcome to Rubbout

Unmask your truth.

For thirty-five years, Rubbout has created space for rubber, connection, and fearless self-expression. In 2027, Venetian ceremony collides with brutalist architecture and latex futurism.

Come masked. Come revealed. Come exactly as you are.

Four acts · One weekend

Enter the ritual.

From the first invitation to the final unmasking, each day reveals another layer of MASKARADE.
