REFLEX of Ghost and the Shell

Taking place on weekend nights, REFLEX allows attendees to experience the world of Ghost in the Shell through integrated audiovisual presentations.

Attendees will traverse through a night museum experience that uniquely combines these elements, enhancing their connection to the series.

This special event will feature weekly performances that invite fans to reinterpret the Ghost in the Shell universe through various lenses.
