Shanghai 1939: Immersive Theatre
This is not theatre as you know it. It’s a living world where you don’t just watch, you become part of the story.
Start by putting on authentic Chinese costumes before fully stepping into Shanghai in 1939 – bustling temples, smoky gambling halls, crowded docks, and secret alleys.
Every choice you make changes your path, and potentially alters the ending.The story hides in whispered secrets and fleeting moments that only the sharpest can uncover. No two experiences are the same. This isn’t just a show. It’s a world you live, a role you own, and a story only you can complete.
