Kim Rox is the founder and director of Imperia, an exclusive entertainment company specialized in extravagant gala evenings, shows and elegant parties. 

With a background in theatre, cinema events in Italy, Paris and London, she now enchants the Berlin scene with sophisticated entertainment and creates a illuminated space for artists, intellectuals and bohemians who still believe in love and magic.

— What are your favorite restaurants in Berlin?

— For me it’s all about the euphoria and the vibe alongside the food. I want to feel inspired and in a parallel reality with charm so I must say Poveracci is definitely my favorite place. Giuseppe and the staff bring authentic Italian vibes, flavors and sophistication making you feel inside of a proper Dolce Vita film. The tastes are fresh, aphrodisiac and the energy and the Italian music that plays around us is just fantastic. I also love dancing on the tables once the dinner is done and the party begins. You eat, drink, dance and at the end you simply fly.

— The best places in the city that not many know about?

— Ballhaus Berlin. Surely who needs to know it, knows it. That is in fact my home. Not only do I host my regular Imperia events there, but I also love the people who run it, I love having my meetings there, enjoying a good Limoncello Spritz with my dear Mirco and always plan more and more extravaganzas together. It’s such a historical place offering so many special events, a hotspot and union temple for our dear artists since more than a hundred years and honestly it’s my favorite place to spend my time, no matter if it’s rainy or sunny outside, the interior magic and love of Ballhaus and its magical energies is where I love to be.

— Last event that you really enjoyed?

— Love Masquerade by Imperia. That has been our latest production and we put all of our power and passion in creating it. A union of love, shows, music and souls, the house was on fire and people united in magic. Creating such space and opportunists for people is what I live for.

— What cultural event are you going to attend in the coming month?

— “Angels in St Tropez”, our brand new production that will bring the charm and love of the French Riviera to our beloved Berlin. See you on the 16 of May at the Ballhaus for our next show and imperial extravaganza.
