BOOK MY EXPERIENCE

WARNING... Part 2 contains some spicy content, but don't worry. It's not too extreme. We still keep it playfully haunted.


This storyline was written by Rose Wild & directed by Joseph Cancilla. This storyline reflects the period of Joseph's life from about summer 2022 to about October 2023 when we released this show in Salt Lake City, UT. 


The moral of the story is that it's better to acknowledge our inner demons & work with them instead of fighting to annihilate them.


You can watch in the beginning as it "winds up" along with some of the VIP ambient hour. This was a SIX senses EXPERIENCE. From having an inverted tasting experience, to carnival & circus smells, to tactile touch experiences with snakes to hold, aerial bartending, body taped haunted clown bartenders, bar-top fire dancing & creepy fire demons approaching you to share their deepest, darkest inner demons that they have overcome.


Part 1 - The Wind Up - The story starts to build, Joseph battles the Grim Reaper who represents accountability. He loses the battle & is taken to the underworld & starts to transform into a Fire Demon.


Part 2 - The Inner Demons - This 2nd act is where it gets real spicy. This experience was clearly advertised as PG13... and we nailed it. Nothing about it gets too extreme as we keep it playfully haunted. Joseph explores many parts of his inner demons & decides to embrace them & become them in order to keep balance & harmony in his life.


Part 3 - The Battle Within - The curve ball nobody was expecting.... if Joseph is going to go into battle to face his inner demons & heal generational trauma, he's going to unleash the Maori warrior that lives inside him. The Maori Haka is from New Zealand, or Aotearoa. The Polynesian culture is sacred & should always be treated as such. This theatrical, modern twist is for the sake of creativity & the arts & is always presented in a serious tone, with the utmost respect to the Maori people.
