On a legendary production poised on the brink of glory, a film crew’s patience wears dangerously thin. Presiding over them is the Alchemist, a poetic wonderworker and disaster provocateur whose delusions of grandeur have brought production to a standstill. As the Alchemist draws the crew deeper into a world of magic and madness, guests find themselves entangled in increasingly intricate quests to get the production back on track... PSYCHOMAGIC 9 is a sly, intoxicating work of alchemical theater and boundary-pushing interactivity, set during a fictional remake of the 1973 cult classic The Holy Mountain. Each show is unique. You’ll play a direct part in the unfolding of the story, interacting with a cast of brilliant improvisers in a game that evokes the chaotic cabin-fever excitement of a film set, with all its drama and disaster.
