SELECT FROM TWO MULTI-SENSORY EXPERIENCES AT WHEELER PLACE

SÉANCE

A twist on a traditional séance relying on psychology and inclination towards superstition to alter your perception of reality.
 

Step inside, take a seat, but don’t get comfortable.  

SÉANCE transforms a shipping container into a Victorian séance room. It explores the psychology of a group of people who have been bombarded with suggestible material and asks that they believe in what might be conjured up into the room with them.

 

Do you believe…? ​

FLIGHT

Two journeys, two worlds, two realities: There are many worlds in which this plane lands safely. 
 

In the unlikely event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, alternative scenarios will be provided.

-

FLIGHT explores the many worlds interpretation of Quantum Mechanics proposes all possible outcomes that could occur are occurring in countless worlds of varying similarity. 
 

 

We’re not responsible for your final destination.
