Labyrinth Within
by Maria Mar
a timed-entry personalized experience
Friday & Saturday 6-9pm, Sunday 2-5pm. Staggered groups every 40 minutes.
Leave your eyes at the door, and bring your whole self inside! You are invited to journey through the ‘Labyrinth Within’ at the Carlo Theater. This is a site-specific, sensorial, ritual theater experience designed to reconnect you with the sensory, forgotten, and felt memories of your life. This is a dream play! Through the darkness, you will meet our inhabitants, who will offer you, a series of intimate, sensory portals, a scent of nostalgia, a touch of familiarity, a taste of the unknown, a whisper, a song.
There is no story to follow. There is only the story you create with your own presence.
This is not a show for your eyes, it is a show for your body and your memory. It is a moment to pause, to feel the texture of life, and to find, in the center of the labyrinth, a renewed sense of trust and connection.
Format
You will travel blindfolded, and at your own pace, through a carefully curated path. By choosing this experience you are consenting to gentle physical touch, smells, sounds, textures, tastes. Consent can always be revoked at any point in the journey. Having your own blindfold and being barefoot is highly recommended.
The box office will be outside and you will enter the building from the rear entrance. Once inside, you will be led to a lounge and then enter in staggered groups every 40 min.

Accessibility: This experience is for everyone and wheelchair accessible. Please let us know if you need personalized accommodation. For Ages 16+ (Ages 16-17 will need to have a parent's consent. Email info@dellarte.com for more info.)
Before the journey, participants are encouraged to arrive 10 minutes early to prepare for the experience in a room designed to create tranquility and openness.
During the Journey, you will spend 40 minutes in the guided experience.

*A note about Zeffy. We use Zeffy because it is entirely free for organizers and patrons, meaning more money directly supports the artists. Zeffy asks that those who can afford it contribute toward credit card processing fees. They automatically suggest a 17% fee, but you can select "other" and enter any amount, or none at all.
