About Club Lost
In the year of America’s 250th anniversary, Club Lost brings New Haven artists together for a one-night music, spoken-word, visual-art, and social experience exploring freedom, belonging, cultural memory, and the many histories that shape the American story.
Taking place at Lost in New Haven on Friday, August 28, 2026, just weeks after Independence Day observances, Club Lost extends the national conversation beyond the Fourth of July and into a late-summer evening of music, poetry, visual art, food, drinks, dancing, and museum exploration.
The evening is led by Ionne, a New Haven-based recording artist, producer, and live electronic performer whose original music has reached audiences around the world. His continuous DJ/live-song mashup set will weave original music into a deep, melodic, and progressive house journey. As part of the performance, Ionne will debut two new works, “250 Shades of Freedom” and “Children of Nations,” created in response to America’s 250th anniversary.
New Haven Poet Laureate and spoken word artist Yex will collaborate with Ionne on “250 Shades of Freedom,” adding a powerful layer of poetry, storytelling, and cultural reflection to the evening.
A curated visual-art exhibition featuring works by Johnny Komodo, Allyse Corbin, Laz, movement artist Kris St. Louis, and additional guest artists to be announced will extend the event’s themes throughout the museum, with works exploring New Haven and America as places shaped by many peoples, histories, memories, rituals, and dreams.
Part concert, part club night, part spoken-word experience, and part gallery event, Club Lost offers a museum experience audiences can move through, listen to, dance within, and interpret for themselves.
Additional collaborators and performance elements may be announced.
About the Artists
Ionne
Ionne is the performance alias of Dr. Maurice Lajuane Harris, a New Haven-based musician, producer, and creative visionary whose refined brand of electronica merges synth pop, dance, soul, and jazz with deeply human storytelling. In his hands, electronica is elevated to the level of serious music that espouses important messages, catches the ears and the feet, and finds its way into the heart and mind. A classical pianist and trumpeter by training, Ionne has worked with a range of major and independent labels and artists including EMI, Atlantic, and Universal, and has composed music for major television productions. Holding a PhD in Ethical and Creative Leadership, he integrates his philosophy into his work, believing in music and art as powerful tools for leading positive social change. Ionne is the Deputy Director of the Schwarzman Center at Yale University and a proud member of the Lost In New Haven Community Advisory Council. See https://ionne.com

Yex
Yexandra "Yex" Diaz is an award-winning poet, educator, and community leader who uses poetry and storytelling as tools for connection, healing, and cultural preservation. A two-time Connecticut Grand Slam Champion and New Haven Poet Laureate, she has performed on stages across the country, including the August Wilson Cultural Center and Woolsey Hall alongside the New Haven Symphony Orchestra.

Her commitment to arts education has led her to serve as a visiting instructor at institutions including UConn and Trinity College.
Johnny Komodo
Jonathan “Johnny Komodo” Williams is a photographer and image-maker based in New York and New Jersey whose practice moves between the analog and the constructed, the personal and the ceremonial. Working across 120mm film, cyanotype, and digital processes, he builds visual worlds rooted in the belief that the idea and the making are inseparable. His still life collage work takes prayer as its organizing principle, treating the physical objects that accumulate across a life as devotional instruments, each one a vessel for desire, memory, and intention. The cyanotype process lends itself naturally to this inquiry, its slow exposure echoing the patience of ritual. Williams draws on pre-transatlantic West African spiritual traditions, domestic ritual, and the quiet gestures of everyday life to locate the metaphysical inside the familiar: a fishing line cast over still water, a candle lit in a votive rack, an object left behind by someone who has completed their time here.

Allyse Corbin
Allyse Corbin (she/her) is a maker based in New Haven, CT. As an arts administrator, photographer, performer, and crafter, she loves surrounding herself with creative people. Allyse is currently interested in using upcycled materials that some people deem as trash as inspiration for art materials. tinyurl.com/akcphotos
Laz
Laz is an oil painter whose work defines an emerging style he calls surreal impressionism — a movement characterized by the depiction of fleeting moments in nature through dreamlike imagery. Often drawing inspiration from the landscapes of Southern New England, he examines the relationship between imagination, the natural world, and the liminal space between them.
Informed by his first-generation Haitian American upbringing, Laz views art as an act of vulnerability. His paintings give outward form to inward conviction, inviting viewers to reflect on their own experiences with honesty and wonder. As a Haitian American artist based in Connecticut, he is particularly interested in how personal history, environment, and imagination shape the evolving American experience. Through surreal impressionism, Laz explores beauty, hope, and redemption, offering glimpses of a future made possible through both remembrance and imagination. https://thelazrose.wixsite.com/mysite
Kris St. Louis
Kris St. Louis is a multidisciplinary performer, dancer, vocalist, and choreographer whose work spans theater, musical performance, and contemporary movement. Kris’s recent performance credits include Bacchae [or, Present Madness] at the Yale Cabaret, for colored girls in a Yale workshop reading, A Chorus Line with the Yale Dramat, and Mother Tongue, a Yale senior thesis production. With training in acting, voice, and dance, Kris has performed across modern, contemporary, experimental, tap, Fosse, Graham, Horton, jazz, ballet, hip hop, Kathak, and African dance forms. Kris is currently active with Yale Dance Lab Company and Yale Modern Dance Company, and brings a dynamic blend of theatricality, musicality, and movement to collaborative performance projects.

About The Silent Light
Founded in 2015 by Michael Formanski, The Silent Light is a musical endeavor that breathes new life into classic silent films through the power of heavy metal. Formanski, composer and film director, crafts each score drawing from the dark and intense realms of black metal, doom metal, and original fantasy soundtracks with influences such as The Body, Sunn O))), Emperor, Summoning, and Nobuo Uematsu.
The Silent Light’s performances transform silent films like Metropolis, Faust, and Nosferatu into contemporary masterpieces with their haunting and powerful metal scores. They continue to push the boundaries of what silent film scoring can be, inviting audiences to experience the classics in a way they never have before.

His musical interests range from Scandinavian metal to electronic/trance and many adjacent genres. He has been most influenced by drummers Martin Lopez (Opeth), Danny Carey (Tool), and Abe Cunningham (Deftones).
About Faust
Faust was directed by F.W. Murnau and originally premiered in 1926. Drawing from the centuries-old legend of Faust as well as the writings of Goethe, the film follows an aging scholar who makes a bargain with the demon Mephisto. Desperate to save his town from a devastating plague, Faust trades his soul for the power to perform miracles, setting in motion a struggle between temptation, love, and damnation.
One of the final films Murnau made in Germany before leaving for Hollywood, Faust was among the most ambitious productions of the silent era. Elaborate sets, multiple exposures, miniatures, and groundbreaking photographic effects transform the story into a nightmarish vision of angels, demons, plague, witchcraft, and hell. Nearly a century later, its towering imagery remains some of the most striking ever created during the silent era.

About the Artist:
Tony Falcone has created art on a professional commissioned basis since 1974. This year, marks his fifty-second year as a wholly self-taught artist. In 2024, in collaboration with five long-time/repeat Patrons and arts organizations, Falcone celebrated his 50th anniversary with exhibits, artist-talks, and tours of his on-site commissioned work around the state, accompanied by receptions.
Born in New Haven, Tony served as a New Haven firefighter for seven years until he discovered his love of painting murals and established Falcone Art Studio in a vintage dairy barn located in Prospect, Connecticut. It is there, as well as on location throughout the country, that Tony creates his “imaginistic” murals, canvases, portraits, and sculpture. Falcone’s early monumental exterior murals include: “La Aquariata”, (10,000 sq. ft. mural on the Cinemart Movie Theater, Hamden, CT); “A New Dawn” (TYCO, New Haven); and “Fast Track” (Sports Haven, New Haven, CT). More recently in 2024, “Westbrook, a Friendly Port” was unveiled in Westbrook, CT.
From 2000 through 2014, Falcone was commissioned by the U.S. Coast Guard Alumni Association Class of 1962, to create a series of 14 highly-detailed, historically-researched, mural-sized oil paintings on linen for its Historical Murals Project, designed for the interior of its Cadet Reading Room at the USCG Academy in New London, CT. The artworks depict the history of the U.S. Coast Guard from WWII through September 11, 2001. A replica of Falcone’’s “9/11” painting, highlighting the Coast Guard’s critical role in the evacuation of 650,000 people from Battery Park in Lower Manhattan on September 11, 2001, was exhibited in 2011 at the Intrepid Museum in Manhattan in conjunction with NYC’s 10th anniversary Retrospective of 9/11, honoring first responders from all branches of the U.S. Military Service organizations. The ninth painting in the Historical Murals series, an 11 ft. canvas entitled “D-Day Landings at Omaha Beach”, was unveiled at the Academy on D-Day’s 65th anniversary commemorative ceremony June 5, 2009. For D-Day’s 75th anniversary in 2019, a replica of Falcone’s Omaha Beach mural was sent to Normandy for France’s 75th Anniversary of D-Day.
Other notable Falcone mural commissions in Connecticut include: a floor mural for the Yale University Peabody Museum of Natural History; a commemorative trompe l’oeil mural for the Alumni Center at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy entitled “Cadets’ Journey”; as well as murals at Yale University Law School, Floyd Little Regional Field House at Hillhouse High School in New Haven, Albertus Magnus College, the Fusco Corporation, downtown Old Saybrook, historically-themed artworks for the “Choo Choo Lounge” at Saybrook Point Resort & Marina, and an exterior mural in Westbrook, CT.
Tony’s executive, heirloom and architectural portraits are held in the collections of: Albertus Magnus College; AIDS Project New Haven; Gateway Community College; Hospital of Saint Raphael; International Aero Engines, Glastonbury; Michelle’s House (New Haven’s Sickle Cell Community House); New Alliance Bank; the Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce; Ronald McDonald House; Saybrook Point Resort & Marina; the Sewall Foundation in Portland, Maine; Superior and Probate Courts in New Haven and Hartford; the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London; Yale School of Medicine; Yale School of Nursing; Yale New Haven Health Services; the Vidone Birthing Center and Smilow Cancer Center at Yale New Haven Hospital. In addition, Falcone’s portrait of America’s tall ship barque Eagle, entitled “Leading the Way” commissioned by the National Coast Guard Museum, Inc., was unveiled in 2015 at the New York Yacht Club to launch the Museum’s national capital drive.
Later on in his career, Falcone began sculpting. In 2014, his bronze portrait bust of NFL Hall of Fame star, Otto Graham, former Athletic Director and Coach of the U.S.C.G. Academy football team, was unveiled at the ribbon-cutting of the new USCGA Otto Graham Hall of Athletic Excellence in New London, CT. Next, a “prehistoric” fish sculpture was created for a private lake-side residence. More recently, Falcone’s 7’ tall statue of a French soldier, “Marching Toward Freedom”, has been installed in the Rochambeau Memorial Monument, in Meadowview Park, Middlebury CT, marking the encampment of Compe de Rochambeau ‘s French regiment on their round-trip march from Newport, RI to Yorktown, VA to assist American troops win the American Revolutionary War.
Today, Falcone Art Studio (https://www.falconeartstudio.com) is known for its broad spectrum of fine artworks. Falcone’s monumental murals, highly detailed canvases, heirloom quality portraits, and sculpture enhance public spaces, corporate and educational settings, parks and private homes. Widely known for his skill in capturing familiar landscapes and cityscapes, the Artist reproduces these nostalgic images as collectible fine art reproductions including prints, posters, Giclees, etchings, greeting cards, paperweights and medallions.
To balance his large and highly detailed commissions, Falcone enjoys teaching a variety of classes for Artsplace in Cheshire, CT, and has illustrated several children’s books recently, including: “Mermaid Under the Bridge” and “Jeffrey, the Prince of Perkins Cove” both by author Brenda Goodale; and “Leila Looks for a Moose” by Victor Visockis.
Falcone is the recipient of the Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from Albertus Magnus College in New Haven, CT. He was featured in “Artists Next Door: A Great City’s Creative Spirit” published in New Haven, CT by Cheever Tyler and was selected to join New Haven’s Sister Cities’ Artists’ Contingent traveling to Avignon, France to exhibit his work. Falcone is a member of the Portrait Society of America, and lives in Cheshire, CT with Judith Andrews, his partner, business manager, and muse.
IRL Social Salon
A Celebration of New Haven
An IRL Social Salon at Lost in New Haven
Event Details:
Friday, August 7th, 2026
7:00 to 9:30 PM
Lost in New Haven, 80 Hamilton Street, New Haven
The historic Anchor Bar will be open with drinks for purchase. (N/A options too!)
Overview
A full room of New Haveners, real conversation, and a hunt through the Lost in New Haven museum. Come meet your city. Aug 7.
A Celebration of New Haven
Meeting new people as an adult mostly comes down to the same few faces, or another night at home with your phone. August 7th is structured to change that, for one evening, in one of the most remarkable rooms in the city.
This is a Social Salon: a night built so that a full room of New Haveners actually meets and talks. You'll be rotated through small groups of three or four, never one big awkward circle and never one-on-one. Each round comes with conversation cards that get real stories going, and we tell you where to go next, so you keep meeting new people without the work of figuring out who to approach. By the final round, you'll have already met more than half the room. Some people come to make friends, some are hoping to meet someone, and both are exactly right.
The night celebrates the three things that make New Haven what it is:
Its people. The salon itself, and a room full of neighbors you'd never meet otherwise.
Its history. Partway through, the night opens up into a hunt through Lost's collection, in small teams with the people you've just met. Taking part earns you extra entries in the raffle.
Its local businesses. A raffle stocked with prizes from local spots, and a goodie bag of New Haven finds for everyone who walks in.
Tickets
Space is limited and these nights fill up, so grabbing yours early is the move. Be prepared with your ticket to check in at the door.
Parking
There is parking on both sides of the building and ample unmetered street parking.
About In Real Life
Jesse Giorgio is the founder of IRL (In Real Life), a Connecticut events company that creates structured social experiences for adults who want to meet people in person.
She brings 25 years in marketing and event design to the work, including a decade running corporate team building. That background shapes how an IRL night runs, from the venue to the structure to hosting that keeps the energy moving without taking it over. When the room is built well, people relax and real conversation follows.
IRL grew out of a simple observation. Adults are busier and more isolated than they used to be, and the places where people once met naturally have mostly disappeared. Her events rebuild those spaces one night at a time, across Social Salons, Singles Salons, special events, and private events for companies and communities.
