ABOUT

The flagship BitterSuite experience, with our signature 1:1 format where audience members are blindfolded and guided through a live concert.


This is an immersive experience of Debussy’s String Quartet in G, a 60-minute concert invites adults and children (6+) to enter Debussy’s bewilderingly colourful quartet with our model of guided taste, touch, and scent.


Inspired by Debussy’s dual identity of Claude and Chilo, the performance brings his shifting inner worlds to life. 


“This was the first time I’ve been touched in seven years.” — Audience Member


“There is no dozing off... This is active listening.” — The Guardian


“Must be felt, heard, smelled and tasted.” — Smithsonian
