“I left under a spell of catharsis and hugged a stranger”

A contemporary confessional for the modern sinner. A space to listen and be heard, away from the digital divide.
WITHOUT SIN is an intimate interactive experience for an audience of two, created by an award-winning team of designers, architects and theatre-makers. Enter the box with a friend, partner, relative or – better yet – a stranger, and be guided into conversation by light, sound, and a simple question.
Reclaiming the penitential rite as a non-judgmental exercise in reflection and healing, WITHOUT SIN invites you to consider our relationships with one another and the places that cultivate connection between us.
