Real Self: A Human Immersive Experience

WHAT IT IS?

Imagine being the star of your own show, where the spotlight is on you, but without the pressure of performance. In “Real Self” the audience becomes the cast, donning identical white overalls and masks that create a unique environment of anonymity. This immersive experience invites participants to explore their true selves, free from judgment. It embodies the essence of the Experience Economy, which focuses on creating memorable interactions rather than simply offering products or services. Through a blend of storytelling, music, and stunning visuals, “Real Self” guides attendees on a profound emotional journey, allowing them to actively engage in their own narratives and connect with others in a meaningful way.

“Real Self” is a groundbreaking experience where over 200 participants wear identical suits and masks, ensuring anonymity and allowing for authentic self-expression. Guided by a voiceover, original music, and stunning 360° mapping, attendees explore a vast communal space for an hour and a half. During the event, participants respond to questions that address themes of current issues, mental health, how we feel in the world, and how we feel about ourselves. They also follow instructions to engage in activities such as dancing or hugging, enhancing the immersive experience.
