Alice in Wonderland | 2017, 2018
A wonderful world full of illusions, deceptions, and errors.
An exhibition for playing, marveling, and discovering with all your senses, with a touch of anarchy and a little more autocracy. The exhibition is for anyone who loves to explore and who finds something magical in life. For school classes and individuals. The supervisory staff slip into the roles of characters from novels as active players, surprising and engaging visitors. An unpredictable game begins, with the clock ticking. The different stations can be adapted depending on the floor plan.
Anarchy or autocracy? And me?
Dive through a tunnel into infinite depths, conquer the labyrinth full of sensory experiences, and encounter your inner voice during an anarchic tea party. Slip into the role of the dictatorial Queen of Hearts and oppress your people or tear their heads off.
Experience what it means to grow beyond yourself until you no longer know which way is up and which way is down. Understand why shadows can be colorful and yet have a different color than light. Face the questions of the talking animals.
