Best Immersive Art Exhibit: The ENDings
Like its many, many new hires, the best immersive art exhibit of 2025 is dearly departed, dead and gone, but, if we’re lucky, hopefully not lost to the ages. Strange Bird Immersive’s The ENDings was an inventive celebration of life, art, humor, work (?!) and death – so much death! The lauded theater group offered an interactive experience where each participant is hired to work as “the protagonist,” then given a smartphone, a headset and a flashlight to navigate the eerie ruins of a dimly-lit, deserted office space. Their mission: to solve the mystery of what happened to the workplace’s disappeared staff while trying (mostly in vain) to not die a series of absurd deaths. The story could best be described as “The Office Meets The Howling, ” screenplay by Soren Kierkegaard (it was actually written by Strange Bird’s wonderfully imaginative team of Haley E.R. Cooper and J. Cameron Cooper).
The ENDings came to its own end at the end of summer, after a 10-month run. By then, lots of protagonists had experienced weird demises but, in true Strange Bird Immersive fashion, they were reborn, too, and not just as characters in an immersive art exhibit. The experience was wildly life-affirming. We left the surreal, staged workplace, back to our real-life ones, with the renewed purpose to live our true lives to the fullest.
