Critical Acclaim“Whispers: Echoes from the Halls was a technical marvel, harnessing the venue’s eerie ambiance with a minimalist design that embraced unsettling colonial aesthetics, dramatic lighting, and strategically placed doorways that allowed performers to melt in and out of rooms. The performances were mind-blowing.”
