Whatsthebigmistry’s DoorWonderland is a piece of experimental interactive theatre that was part of the Fierce Festival earlier in the year, transforming the ground floor and basement of Curzon Street Station into a maze through which the audiences was lead by Lewis Carol-like characters. And that’s only scratching the surface. Next week it comes to the Custard Factory.

Taking audiences on a journey of intense contradictions, the piece offers audiences an intimate experience of all that is fabulously dark and destructive. Mistry invites participants to enter the game like world of DoorWonderland and play with the concept that dreams are the choices we don’t make. The life you don’t have. In this highly personalised work each participant is asked to reconsider and reconstruct their own interpretations of reality – suspending beliefs and accompanying Mistry into a curious world of the unknown.

There’s video from the Fierce performance here which’ll give you a taste. Personally I’m glad I went in blind last time so I wouldn’t recommend watching that.
