Transformative Experiences/Performances: These immersive, site-specific
performances focus on sensory experiences that encourage introspection, contemplation, and emotional engagement. Participants experience intimate, personal journeys through sensory exploration, which enhances emotional healing and promotes self-reflection.

Sensory portals can be performed in museums, theatres, deserted spaces, galleries, forests, nature, or any other venue we find inspiring. Sensory portals focus on the senses and inner worlds, contemplation, communication, sharing of the moments.

The audience is going into the portal one by one, experiencing their own journey, intimate, immersive experience, focusing on the senses, sounds, visual stimulations, touch, smell.

Focus on the Senses: Participants engage in an immersive experience that stimulates
touch, smell, sight, and sound, creating a deeper connection to their own emotional
world.
Healing Through Art: Sensory portals provide an opportunity to experience healing
and self-reflection, using art to foster emotional well-being and growth.
