Located in Portugal's ancient port city of Porto, the Underground Experience is a multimedia spectacle unlike any other. Using state-of-the-art multimedia technology and spectacular effects, the experience takes guests on a trip through Porto's storied past and tales. In a subterranean cavern that was formerly a wine cellar, a 360-degree projection mapping technology creates a fantastical environment for the performance. Guests are led through Porto's history by both historical figures like the explorer Vasco da Gama and imaginary ones like the city's mascot, Zé do Porto.
This mysterious presentation, which blurs the lines between fact and fantasy, was made possible by the combination of Joel Cleto's research and the one-of-a-kind building of the Furnas da Alfândega do Porto. Jeremy Irons, winner of the Academy Award for "Best Actor," and Pedro Abrunhosa, a prominent Portuguese novelist, narrate the performance, which was directed artistically by Nuno Maya.
The legends include, The Treasure of Serra do Pilar, The Ghost of the Last Nun, Baron Forrester, Zé do Telhado, The Siege of Porto and its Dragon, The Earthquake of 1755,
Peter Hundred, and more.
