Attractions
(minimum 2 – maximum 6 players)
The Princess and the Countess have seen much and lived even more. Look for them to play the game that takes you on the Streets of Life. The best wins a noble domain. But be careful: one life, one chance! If you don't get a seat at the table, you can always assist.
The Parallel Dolls reveal the secrets of the Parallel City with stories from Iosefin, Fabric and Elisabetin. Find them for an intimate puppet show.
Listen to the forest where only whispers are spoken.
Can you spot the Parallel Man?
Look into the fountain and let yourself be carried away by the meanders of the past roads. Make a wish!
In life we are like a boat lost in the middle of an ocean. But drop by drop we arrive at Sense, even if at one point or another we find ourselves on Counter-Sense.
Start on the path of fulfilling your most burning desire.

Rules for the party
1. Dress funky! And include at least one pink or blue element in the costume.
2. Wear super comfortable shoes! You will have to walk, in some cases, around 500 meters. You will also climb stairs, move through space. Leave the heels at home. Our party is uber casual.
3. Come with a charged phone. And a pair of headphones, if possible. You will have to scan QR Codes that will give you an audio story. We don't offer phones, that would be really cool.
4. You can take photos, Insta Stories, TikToks and any other type of social media. We are not a boring theater. You have freedom! But tag us @orasulparalel
