THE TIGER'S BRIDE
Part circus theater, part haunted house, and fully immersive, The Tiger's Bride brings you, the guest, to the wedding night of Giles de Rais, aka "Bluebeard." What lies within his mansion is up to you to explore and discover.
Each performance of The Tiger's Bride welcomes 40 guests to explore Monsieur de Rais' Manhattan mansion - a four-story immersive space - while helping the new bride unlock his secrets and being entertained by his mysterious staff.
Created by Theatre Uzume and developed at the 2024 Artist in Residence program at Nancy Manocherian's the cell theatre, The Tiger's Bride illuminates classic fairy tales through the eyes of maligned protagonists as they rewrite their own stories, dragging our darkest desires into the light.
