The Salon Project
Your evening begins with a transformation into full period costume by a coterie of dressers and make-up artists, before you emerge into a mirrored impression of a Parisian salon. As you mingle with guests, pioneers in their fields will provoke discussion, speaking on subjects at the vanguard of 21st-century thought on science, politics, technology and the arts.The Salon Project recreates the exclusive meetings at the heart of what was salon society's golden age – an era of change, excess and inquiry. Relive its splendour, contrast it with the present and imagine what the future will hold.“Astonishing…one of the most complete immersive theatre experiences ever conceived.” The Scotsman ★★★★“Extraordinary, intellectually provocative and tremendously good fun.” The Guardian ★★★★
