There is no stage… you don’t take your seats.

We welcome you to THOSE WHO LIE BEYOND — a mysterious world filled with creation, illusion, awakening, and transformation.

Prepare to be immersed; every room in the playspace is the “set;” you are part of our story. We require your full participation: this promenade theatre includes standing and walking throughout the entire experience as you move between realms… please plan your footwear accordingly. However, the adventure is wheelchair accessible, so we welcome audiences of all abilities.

Your evening’s affair will last approximately 80 minutes. Upon arrival, you and all visitants will be welcomed to The Masquerade, where you will don a mask (which will be provided). Throughout the night, this mask distinguishes you, the Observer, from the actors, the Observed.

Please refrain from touching or speaking to the Observed; when your participation is requested during the experience, they will prompt you accordingly. The Observed may whisper in your ear, solicit your assistance, kiss your hand, proffer refreshments… even invite you away to share an exclusive moment. If you do not wish to accept these interactions, simply situate yourself within the crowd rather than towards the front.

While you may participate alongside your companions, do anticipate a potential separation. Embrace the individuality of your path; follow where the fates may lead.
