If you’re receiving this, listen carefully!

Lock your doors, hold your loved ones, and pray that you don’t hear it! Beware the harrowing horror of the unstoppable, the uncontrollable, the unrelenting, the Noise!

Quiver in fear as you witness a family flee ever upwards. Gaze in dread while the walls get closer together with each new floor of their building. And wonder at the Schmurtz, a bandaged creature lurking in every dark corner.

Boris Vian’s The Empire Builders is a masterclass in surprise, comedy, and depth, combining elements of jazz music, film noir, and expressionism to create a powerful message about the struggles of refugees and the dangers of xenophobia.

Are you brave enough to enter this mysterious building, face the Noise, and discover the truth behind the Schmurtz? Find out when you witness The Empire Builders!
