I know this is an old topic, but..

What is this place supposed to be? It's so beautiful that I've been asking myself the same question since the first theater

Is this place somehow connected to Simulanka? Or it's just a random spot in the theater and nothing special

I read a lot of things in this game and I didn't find anything about this place, unless I missed something? I know there's a lore for almost everything in Genshin

It's likely only related to Simulanka in the sense that both are living books written by the Hexenzirkel

If this thing is related to simulanka, then it is parallel to something in Teyvat

Let's leave it as simply outer space, for now

Imaginarium theater is called *Imagin(e)* rium for a reason. This is just another space witches created, just like lore-wise Octavia created imaginary worlds of Miliastra Wonderland, just like Barbeloth, Alice and Andersdotter created Simulanka. Wolfy describes "Madam Witch" as someone who "can see the path of fate in the starry reflections", which perfectly aligns with Barbeloth being an astrologist and visionary, so she's the one who looks over the place.

The Theater is a story, the IT lobby is a place "before the story begins and before it ends". Which is why you interact with the book to start the performance, *the story*, just like you had to interact with the book to teleport into the story of Simulanka. The places inside aren't Simulanka itself, it's a "special place" that opens only when guests believe from the bottom of their hearts that the theater is real. It's another story that just has connections to other stories.

Wolfy, for example, is the reference to character from The Boar Princess, you can also see the moving painting of the princess herself on one the walls of the lobby.

The Boar Princess was the book written by Andersdotter and left to the witches, and the lobby of IT is filled with references to her - ink bottles ("special ink bottle", mind you), feather pens, shelves filled with story books.

We also see references to other witches in the lobby - Nicole's tea set, Alice's gramophone, so we can say the place is made with Andersdotter's magic, looked over by Barbeloth and influenced to some extent or at least visited by some other witches.

Ohhh that makes sense now
And I always wondered about the moving paintings, and it never occurred to me that they were the princess from the book

Thank you for the explanation!! :D

The little info Wolfy gives in conversation has a lot of meaning if you think about it. IIRC, he also gave one of the first hints that Nicole is an Angel (dialogue option "Why wolves?")

You're welcome!

To add to that, we also have access to/collect the Lunar Arcana, which is shown on the previous AQ to be something Barbeloth uses for her predictions.

There's also a divination machine with black cat (common witches' familiar) that gives fortune slips.

"Visionary" mode (tho it has Alice's image next to it because Barbeloth's was already used for easy mode).

The non combat ost in that stage is just as good as the visuals
