A La Jolla Playhouse Digital WOW Piece
What hope remains when one sends a message into the ether with no guarantee of a response? Much like the notion of sending a message in a bottle, Portaleza (derived from the words “portal” and “fortaleza”, meaning strength/fortress) is a digital WOW experience created by David Israel Reynoso of Optika Moderna. The experience explores ideas of connection through desperate means of correspondence. After booking a visit with Optika Moderna’s strange opticians, audience members will be mailed a mysterious package, which is to remain sealed until their appointed time. When the moment arrives, guests will discover that the humble contents of this parcel hold the key to unlocking a reality beyond their realm of imagination; a customized experience in response to what they do next.
A smart phone with texting capabilities and headphones are required for this experience.
Your adventure begins when a special package arrives in your mailbox. For ticket purchases before August 31st, packages will arrive the second week of September. For ticket purchases after August 31st, packages will arrive up to 7 days after purchase. Please provide a valid mailing address during checkout. For ticket purchases outside the United States: Please select “International”.
