Go to the coolest secret party in Elisabetin and activate the Portal that will open the Parallel City. Explore the theatrical Wonderland.
THE ATTRACTIONS
THE GAME OF LIFE (minimum 2 - maximum 6 players)
The Princess and the Countess have seen a lot of things and experienced even more. Find them to play the game that takes you through the streets of life. The best player will win a noble estate. But be careful: one life, one chance! You can always watch if you don't grab a seat at the table.
THE TENT OF SECRETS
The Parallel Puppeteers reveal the secrets of the Parallel City with stories from Iosefin, Fabric, and Elisabetin. Find them for an intimate puppet show.
THE FOREST OF WHISPERS
Listen to the forest where only whispers are spoken.
THE LABYRINTH OF MIRRORS
Can you discover the Parallel Man?
THE WELL OF TIME
Look into the well and let yourself be carried away by the meanders of past paths. Make a wish!
THE OCEAN OF CONTINUITY
In life, we are like a boat lost in the middle of the ocean. We can find our direction with every drop of water, even if at times we drift aimlessly.
THE REALM OF WISHES
Set out on the path to fulfill your most ardent wish.
For the party:
1. Dress funky! And include at least one pink or blue item in your costume.
2. Wear super comfortable shoes! You'll have to walk, in some cases, around 500 meters. You'll also be climbing stairs, and moving through space. Leave the heels at home. Our party is uber-casual.
3. Come with a charged phone. And a pair of headphones, if it’s possible. You'll have QR codes to scan giving you access to an audio story. We don't provide phones, that would be really lame.
4. You can take photos, make Insta stories, TikToks, and any other type of social media content you wish. We're not a boring theater. You have freedom! Just tag us @orasulparalel.
