PUNCHING BAG
An Immersive Psychological Experience
In the heart of Downtown Los Angeles lies an underground performance unlike anything you've seen before.
This 35 minute immersive experience takes you into the seedy economy of emotional prostitution, where any paying client can have the catharsis they desire from any conflict in their life with the help of Mr. Bagg and his masterful and unorthodox style of "therapy".
Mad at your boss? Cheating boyfriend did you dirty? Had about enough of your freeloading friend? Hate that lady that denied you healthcare coverage?
We all face these conflicts in our lives and so many times we are too scared to confront them head on, so Mr. Bagg and his team give you a safe space to let those emotions out on a skilled actor who will portray that which you cannot confront. Take your anger for a test run, say everything on your mind and on your heart, do whatever you need to walk out of that room in peace. That's the business we run.
Each show features a scripted voyeuristic look at some of these conflicts, but also an opportunity for someone from the audience to get in the ring and try out this services for themselves.
Directed and written by Greg Berman, this experience will force you to consider what conflicts you have in your life and how you confront them. The real question is, are you willing to explore that part of you?

RULES FOR THE SHOW
Follow the instructions given from the moment you arrive outside the building to the completion of the experience.
There are no restrooms on the premises. You will only be in the show for 45 minutes at the most, so please use the restroom before you arrive. If you need to go, we will direct you to a nearby business, but we strongly encourage you to take care of this before the show begins.
Please arrive 5-10 minute early. The show will start exactly on time and we will not permit late entry.
If you are chosen for the interactive portion of the scene, please be advised that violence is not permitted. Mr. Bagg will guide you through the experience safely and explore your conflict with you, he will only push as far as you allow.
The show begins outside of the space on Spring St. and ends outside the space so dress accordingly. You will only be outside for a very brief period of time, but keep in mind this is Downtown Los Angeles so do not engage with anyone that is not a part of the show.
There will not be an opportunity to speak to the actors after the show. Once the show is over, you will be escorted to the final place of the show and from there you are free to go. If you would like to contact anyone from the show, please reach out through the QR code provided upon exit.
