The Flickerwerm migration has arrived at Meow Wolf's 鈥淗ouse of Eternal Return.鈥�

Visitors can join the interactive performance of puppets, actors, dancing and more, during the roaming quest, 鈥淧henomenomaly.鈥�

鈥淧henomenomaly鈥� is a 45-minute show that journeys through various rooms in the 鈥淗ouse of Eternal Return.鈥� Eventgoers can choose to follow George or the duo Lintley and Wavelynn as they search for four items.

鈥淲e gathered for the great Flickerwerm migration,鈥� said James Gruessing, who portrays George.

Gruessing said George is everyone鈥檚 鈥渇avorite dad friend.鈥� He鈥檚 loaded with dad jokes and tchotchkes from his world travels and helps kick off the quest, Gruessing said.

The whole 鈥淧henomenomaly鈥� adventure is centered around helping the 鈥淜eepers of Obscurity鈥� open a portal, triggering the Flickerwerm migration.

鈥淚n order for them to open the portal, we need to gift them with everyday objects,鈥� Gruessing said.

Once the Keepers of Obscurity get the objects, there is 鈥渙ne last moment of energy, a sudden spark, and they get together, and they migrate, and it is beautiful,鈥� Gruessing said. 

The four items are initially a mystery. The adventure kicks off near the exhibit鈥檚 entrance and soon wanders into the house.

Wavelynn, who resembles an otherworldly bug and is played by Sienna Allen, explains to eventgoers what a Flickerwerm is.

鈥�(They鈥檙e) these little creatures, and they glow, and it鈥檚 kind of rare to see them,鈥� Allen said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 kind of like, like an eclipse, or like a comet, you know? They come through every once in a while. They鈥檙e kind of magical.鈥�

As participants follow George, Lintley and Wavelynn through the exhibit, they interact with the characters and encounter the mysterious keepers, with the quest ending near the concert stage and the Flickerwerm migration begins.

Gruessing said the 鈥渓ast moment of energy鈥� is a dance number by the keepers, preceeded by a performance from a local Santa Fe act. The lineup for this summer includes Carlos Medina, the Lightning Boy Hoop Dancers, CoCo Caliente and more.

Once the keepers begin opening the portal, a few participants have a chance to join in. They are handed a glowing light and follow the keepers as they go on a parade throughout the center of the 鈥淗ouse of Eternal Return.鈥�

鈥淢y favorite part is everyone who helps us along the way,鈥� Allen said. 鈥淚 mean, we鈥檝e got some different items we鈥檝e got to find, and everyone here is part of helping us find that.鈥�
