Max Number of participants for performance: Twelve per two-hour performance window
Warning: The performance version of the installation will include moving puppetry, gentle smells, the sensation of blowing air and occasional loud noises. Please let us know if any of these are problematic, and we will adapt the performance to better suit your needs. While in the area, there are small soft “pads” to walk over that may be a tripping hazard to some guests.
