BACK TO WONDER

(2022/2023)

Back to Wonder was an immersive experience combining storytelling, strange curiosities, and impossible feats. This was Helder Guimarães’s most intimate experience ever. Limited to only 15 people per performance, this exhibition happened at an undisclosed location and was infused with four different topics: Wonder, Secrets, Time, and Trust.

The location was one of the secrets. Only revealed on the day of the performance, guests would get directions for the meeting location on the morning of the event. Running purely on word of mouth and no reviews allowed, Back to Wonder was sold out for four months with an average of 11 shows a week. A second run started at the end of 2022.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime event, taking a peek into Helder’s creative process and the world in which he lives. From the same producers of his first immersive experience Borrowed Time (2016), Back to Wonder redefined the expectations and experience of a magic show.
