João Blümel is a Portuguese entertainer and mentalist who performs not only in Portugal, but also around the world. You can see him regularly on stage and on TV, where he "reads minds" using a combination of techniques from Psychology, Illusionism, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Body Language, and Intuition.João is also a gadget and high-tech enthusiast and recently created a unique show of its kind.His new show combines mentalism with virtual and augmented reality, bringing the audience a unique and absolutely immersive experience.Due to the uniqueness of his performances and regular media appearances, João Blümel is often called "the Portuguese mentalist".

Stephen Dobbie makes immersive worlds sound alive. He’s been Punchdrunk’s longtime sound designer/composer, helping shape the pulse of shows like Sleep No More, from New York’s McKittrick Hotel to Shanghai, where whole buildings are treated like instruments. Think original music, curated tracks, and smart zoning that quietly guides you from room to room..

Beyond Punchdrunk, Stephen co-runs A Right/Left Project with Colin Nightingale, creating deep-listening installations (like ORIGIN) that turn attention into a ritual. In galleries, he helped build Beyond the Road with Nightingale and UNKLE’s James Lavelle, a multi-room exhibition that’s shown in London and Seoul, expanding his “building as instrument” approach into a free-roaming, museum context.

What ties it all together is feel over flash: sound that orients, breathes with performers, and holds the story without shouting. Whether it’s a maze of scenes, a contemplative installation, or a gallery adventure, Stephen’s focus is the same, design systems that let wonder repeat, night after night.
