Interactive visual theatre "The Carpet" calls you for a desert pilgrimage to a rose garden guarded by the Black Women, where roses keep people’s revelations to God in their mind. The four visitors of the play are submerging through visual and mental illusions of the world of the Black Women, leading to the deep layers of reality, which are standing out of the motives of an oriental carpet. Processing the stations - where the viewers are guided in a soft and meditative way by pictures, voices, interactive set elements or apparitions - will gain a personal experience about an initiating journey inspired by the symbols and philosophies of the eastern world, mostly Sufism, filtered through and spinned together with an artistic language.

隨著蘇菲教派的黑袍女子腳步，走進一趟僅容納四名旅客的沙漠朝聖之旅，觀眾必須站立、走動、翻看圖片、聆聽指示、想像故事，感受腳下地毯的質感跟自己心中的神對話。
