Tonight, the city
is in on it.
We write a day around one person or a small group and stage it in the real city with actors. They do not know.
One night. Your friends think it is dinner. The city knows the plot.

One night we wrote
How a night with friends can go
One example: one of you orders the night; the others think it is dinner. The waiter, the tailor and the driver are our actors. Every night is written from a blank page. A birthday? →
They meet for coffee before dinner. Under one saucer is a card with the first clue, and the waiter acts as if he has never seen it.
In a tailor’s window hangs the dress one of them wore the night they all met. The tailor has been expecting them.
A pedicab pulls up. The rider knows their names and hands over an envelope with the next address.
On a rooftop, a table laid for exactly their number. Everyone they met tonight is there.

What stays after the night
Nobody at the table saw it coming. That part cannot be bought twice.
The ones you have not had in years. The night is written to start them.
A night you will all retell, each a little differently, for years.
And one record of the night — written up afterwards, in one copy.
In their words
“The best day ever. So happy that I was a part of this day.”
“We met all these different people and found ourselves in really unexpected situations and places. You just can’t tell the difference between the real world and what was Teleport. Like a dream really.”
“I am incredibly grateful for this experience and want to thank every single person who was involved.”
Three nights · three companies · five prints, three notes
Tell us about them.
We write the night.
Who they are, how you met, what they would never expect from a dinner. You order it. They get the night.
A whole city. Her own story.
- Ordered by
- Her sister.
- For
- Jennifer — on a Saturday she thought was ordinary.
- Lasted
- One whole day.
- The doors
- A stranger who knew her name, a fitting, a magazine cover, a gallery where every portrait was her.
“I think it's the greatest gift I could have given her.” — the one who ordered the day
Notes for the one who organises
How much does a night cost?
There is no price list, because there is no standard night. The cost depends on the cast, the length of the night and what has to be built for it. We share it after the first conversation, as one figure for everything: the script, a cast rehearsed for weeks, every door in the night, and the telling afterwards. It is usually shared between the friends. It is not a thing in a box: it is a night that is retold for years.
Will they know?
You decide. Nobody but you can know — or all of you can be in on it for one friend. For a hen night, the bride can be the only one who does not know.
Do we have to act?
No. The cast does the acting; you do the laughing.
Who arranges the places?
The table, the ride, the last address: by us or by a partner we introduce. Flights and hotels are booked by you or by a licensed travel partner we introduce; we do not sell travel.
Where can it happen?
In the city you choose. Teleport is based in Singapore; the cast is assembled for that city, and the roles that carry the story are played by our own people.
How long does it take to prepare?
Six to ten weeks. We walk the city once before we write.
How many of us can take part?
From three to eight.
Will it be filmed?
Film and photography — by request. Otherwise nothing is recorded.
