WHO ARE YOU? — An immersive experience

Two people sitting across from each other in an empty room

An immersive experience · 70 minutes

Born in Switzerland ↓

You sit across from a stranger. You may not say a word — you open the envelopes, and watch. By the end, you've met yourself.

Not a playNot a workshopNot networking

How it works — three parts

The look

Two people, face to face. No names, no roles, no phones — only the silence where noticing begins.

≈ 5 min

A hundred questions

An envelope opens. From the ordinary to what we never ask. After 36, Arthur Aron found, strangers fall in love. We give a hundred.

≈ 55 min

III

Who you are now

One question remains — the same that met you at the door. Seventy minutes later you answer it differently.

≈ 10 min

The format

No actors, no script. Two rows of strangers sit face to face. Each fills an anonymous questionnaire about the person across — from first impression alone. At the end, everyone leaves with a sealed envelope of what others saw in them.

A room, chairs, envelopes — it can happen anywhere: theatres, galleries, hotels, wine bars, museums, festivals. It works in any language.

From the envelopes — anonymous

“I thought I came to watch. It turned out I was the one being seen.”

“We said nothing for five minutes. More honest than any first date.”

“For the first time in a year, someone really looked at me.”

Why this might be for you

You're rarely seen

For seventy minutes, someone looks at you with full attention.

You leave with proof

A sealed envelope of how a stranger truly saw you — yours to keep.

It's not what you fear

Not therapy, not a date, not networking. Just being truly met.

Why this matters to me

“For me it's all about warmth. Two strangers sit down as no one to each other — and get up having been truly seen. In a world of screens, that tenderness is the rarest thing there is. That's the whole point.”
