An important element of the show is a mask that hides the faces of the mansion’s guests. Whatever happens, you can be sure that the mask guarantees the characters a measure of safety, anonymity, and, possibly, the ability to act with impunity.
The script for the immersive show was inspired by the Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen’s play Ghosts.
Personal experiences form a special part of the show: they provide an opportunity for audience members to communicate with the characters one-on-one.
Visitors are admitted to the show in groups every 15 minutes between 18:45 and 20:00.
