A surreal adventure in to your inner world

Entering what first appears to be a classical escape room, the audience encounters riddles, symbols and hidden clues. They are met by three psychopomps – guides between the conscious and the unconscious. As the performance unfolds, the space gradually transforms into a dreamlike inner landscape where the boundaries between reality and imagination begin to dissolve.

Rooted in the artistic team’s lived experiences of existential distress, serious illness and gender transition, The Escape Room explores personal transformation through an immersive theatrical experience. The performance questions contemporary therapeutic paradigms that frame the self as something to optimize and repair and time as something to be controlled and maximised. 

Inspired by surrealism, the work approaches the dream not as an escape from reality, but as a form of resistance. The result is an enchanting, humorous, and existential experience, an invitation not to escape, but to enter the unknown.
