Whisperlodge is a sensory journey through live ASMR designed to relax the body and mind, expand awareness, and heighten the senses.
In 2016, Andrew Hoepfner co-created Whisperlodge with Melinda Lauw. It’s an intimately-sized immersive theatre performance, maintaining a one-to-one ratio between guides and guests. Each room contains a different encounter with Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, the internet sensory phenomenon that began on Youtube and now comprises a vast internet video subculture. Whisperlodge has been performed in New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Singapore, and continues to iterate into the future.
