MUSASHI: FIND YOURSELF
Musashi: Find Yourself is an entertaining and transformative immersive and interactive experience taking audiences on a mind bending journey back to feudal Japan. Inspired by Miyamoto Musashi’s classic text “The Book of Five Rings”- a philosophical guide from a legendary samurai - the Find Yourself experience blends an authenticated Musashi AI hologram, next generation interactive technology, story, art and sound to create a world of different interactive rites of passage. These rituals connect participants to the distinct themes and principles of each of the Five Rings - Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Emptiness. Audiences will engage intimately with Musashi, this awesome warrior who transcends both death and time to show us the heart of his truths, so that we might find ours.
