Appropriate for All Ages
Thank goodness you're here! A dead mime needs help. At this interactive seance, audiences must think outside the box to help a family of ghosts resolve their unfinished business. Play charades, solve puzzles and pierce the veil between life and death on a madcap quest for forbidden knowledge.
A highly interactive performance from the creators of Scandalton: LIVE!, Trouble Feature, KafkaTech’s METAMORPHOSIS, Insomnia, Escape 2 Insomnia, Insomnia Dream Diner, PAUL (takes the form of a mortal girl) (original adaptation), and KILL THE DRAGON (upcoming). Leo & Yev are theater/game artists whose shows are playful, interactive, trippy, slavic, diasporic, queer, nonlinear, accident-worshipping, absurdist metarealism, puzzle games, generational dysfunction, a party, profoundly unserious, seriously profound.
