Revisit the journey through LIMBO
Travelers began their hour-long adventure in small, intimate groups of up to 4-5 people. They were hypnotized into dream state with the sand of forgotten dreams, and given a very special key to find their way home if they got lost.
While visitors were promised a passage into Dream World, some may have taken a wrong turn in the very narrow and disorienting tunnel, as they ended up in limbo, a threshold between life and death.
Before passing into the great beyond, one had a chance to remember one's life, what made it worth it, what stood out.... Travelers were then given a potion to aid in their journeys and offered a choice: going into Oblivion or into the Consciousness of Another.
Before ceasing to be their own consciousness, travelers had a space to write Any Last Words.
When it was time, souls were shown their way on: some went into the Consciousness of Another, and some went into Oblivion.
In each path, travelers were pulled into a different realm by a very special being of Limbo, with whom they explored desires and a world of infinite possibilities.
In the end, travelers met the being who held all the keys and guided a ritual to open a very special door, the door of doors, which would send them back to Earth and give them a second chance at life.
Before making the final passage back to Earth, travelers had a space to reflect and integrate their experience.
