An Immersive Audio Performance in Bishkek
Connections is a site-specific theatrical project, representing the modern genre of a promenade performance—or as we call it, an immersive audio performance. In this experience, the audience doesn't sit in seats; they become the main characters, actively participating in the unfolding narrative. Following the voice in their headphones, participants are constantly on the move.
Participants put on their headphones and set off on an exciting adventure through the center of Bishkek, gradually discovering more and more about the city and its people.
Put on your headphones—the performance has begun. This theatrical journey with an invisible companion offers a priceless experience of connecting with the city and its people. The action unfolds here and now, with the streets of the city serving as the stage, passersby as the actors, and the surrounding environment as the props.
How It Works
An immersive audio performance or promenade
is an innovative journey into the culture and past of Bishkek, combining historical insights, theatrical elements,
and an engaging plot.

Traditional tours can be dull and fact-heavy.
In contrast, an audio performance allows you
to uncover the secrets behind the facades
of buildings and museums, revealing amazing stories.

At the heart of each immersive performance are contemporaries' stories about the past, personal narratives, and little-known facts that give the journey an indescribable atmosphere of mystery and intrigue, captivating you from the very beginning and not letting go until the final step.
During the immersive walk, you follow the route, guided by the voice in your headphones—but this
is far from just an "audio guide." We use sound effects and theatrical elements to fully immerse you
in the atmosphere of the time and place you're exploring. This isn't just a journey—it's a true adventure in the world of history and imagination.
