MONSTRUOS
Experiencia sonora interactiva para niños aventureros
(MONSTERS – Interactive audio experience for adventurous kids)
(2015 – 2018)

 

We invite you to visit the one and only world-famous “INSTITUTE OF MONSTRUOLOGY”! Here you can find the so-called “everyday monsters,” including such specimens as the “monster of laziness” or the dreaded “monster of fear”… During the visit all goes well until suddenly an alarm goes off: A monster has escaped!!!
Can you help us find it?

MONSTERS is an interactive work. Participants receive headphones and mp3 players and follow the instructions given by an expert in monstruology, Ms. Gertrudis. In groups of 4 they set out on their adventure, which begins with a visit to the institute and takes them on a monstrous journey full of surprises.

 

For the whole family, recommended from 4 years up.


Functions every 15 minutes for 4 people.
