Ohrenzirkus
Interactive silent theater experience for corporate events
Ohrenzirkus is an interactive group experience with headphones, movement, and storytelling.
Participants follow audio instructions and become part of a playful production—together, actively, and surprisingly profoundly.
The special twist:
Two groups experience the same story from different perspectives. Only in the exchange afterwards does the overall picture become clear – a moment that creates connection and opens up conversation.
