Guerrilla Zoo and FoolishPeople present The Abattoir Pages,
a terrifying immersive Halloween experience, hosted in a vast, secret
subterranean landscape that was once one of London's largest abattoirs.
The
Abattoir Pages combines immersive performance, art installation,
haunting and treasure hunt-style activity to form a labyrinth of
mystery and horror, exposing the earliest Gaelic and Pagan rites. Once
inside, audience members will be free to explore the abandoned
underground chambers, join the secret party or may be caught in the
middle of the most terrifying of puzzles.
This
Hallowe’en, the infamous horror author Helen Mayer will hold court at a
debauched secret party. She will share the perverse and warped research
conducted inside the old abandoned abattoir, which was the genesis of
her greatest work. In this dark playground, the very nature of human
terror has been tested, abused and fed into the living story 'The
Forest'.
The
author invites you to solve the puzzle and unlock the terrifying
history within the old and powerful pages hidden throughout the
slaughterhouse. Each holds a key to learning the truth of an ancient
tale, which will ensure your survival.
Tonight,
a debt will be repaid to blood dishonoured. An eternal nightmare rises
up from the depths of the dark boreal forest, in the shadow of the
mountain. It comes to feed on new meat inside an old abattoir.
