Halloween 2025 at Zumelle Castle: Alcatraz reopens.
As every year, our Halloween will not succumb to the usual clichés of screams and papier-mâché monsters. We have already traversed the chill of asylums and the madness of the horror circus... but this time the gateway we will open will be darker, closer, more inevitable. We will lead you into a dystopia that does not belong to a distant future, but to the present that breathes down your neck.
You will find no zombies or bloodthirsty clowns: you will find yourselves, reflected in a nightmare that you cannot turn off. It will be a journey between psychology and anguish, between artistic performances and visions that will force you to look where you have never dared. An immersive experience that will not end at the conclusion of the show: it will follow you, inhabit you, change the way you listen to the pulse of the world. Halloween will no longer be a parenthesis of fear. It will be a sweet condemnation, a mark, a memory that you cannot tear away. The air smells of rust and dry blood. The walls suffocate and await you. Pronouncing a sentence...your sentence, because inevitably you are guilty.
You will not be guests, let alone spectators. You are recorded flesh, numbers in chains, voices already condemned. The Judge will not ask for explanations: he will read your guilt like a brand on your skin. In this experience, you will confront your faults and swallow their consequences. Every step you take inside here will dig the grave, to your conscience... Every breath is a debt you cannot repay. Outside, the world has brainwashed and forgotten you. Within these walls, you will be judged and you will touch your most hidden self's destruction. A confrontation with your destructive habits on a journey that will overturn your existence…if you are honest with yourself.
