Adapted from the Tibetan Book of the Dead, BARDO is an immersive and interactive experience that takes you along the journey travelled by a conscience from the last breath of life to the rebirth of a new soul. 

Between shadows and light, black and white, the crossing of the Bardo is an initiation rite that invites you to challenge your darkest fears. Deep in the obscure waters of Limbo, a memory begins to stir, unearthing images and dreams of a life which disappears in a collapsing world. Through an intimate and aesthetic journey guided by the poetry and emotion of a funeral wake, Bardo explores the awakeness power of self-bereavement.
