Darkfield
Creators of innovative immersive 360 degree audio experiences at the forefront of technology and theatre, reaching over 500,000 audiences across the UK, Asia, Australia and North America. Darkfield utilise striking sets, complete darkness, binaural sound, sensory effects and shipping containers to situate each participant at the centre of intense evolving narratives.
SÉANCE
UK | South Korea | Turkey
Séance is the first Darkfield experience, transforming the interior of a 40ft container into a Victorian séance. Over 20 minutes it explores the psychology of a group of people, and asks that they believe, not only in what seems to be happening inside the container but also in what might be conjured up into the room with them.
FLIGHT
UK | South Korea | China | Taiwan | Saudi Arabia | Turkey
Flight takes place in absolute darkness inside a 40ft shipping container. Its interior exactly resembles an Airbus 320 economy cabin and over 30 minutes explores the Many-Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics, taking audience members through two worlds, two realities and two possible outcomes to their journey. There are many worlds in which this plane lands safely.
COMA
UK | South Korea
Coma invites the audience to take part in a mass experiment, to lie down together and slip into a collective dream. Imagine the moment of waking up is actually the moment when your dream begins. In light of this new and strange reality, how can we save you from the unspeakable horrors which lurk in the dark recesses of your mind? The only cure we offer is a placebo and a promise. Please remember when you leave to take your body with you.
EULOGY
UK
Eulogy is a surreal, otherworldly journey through a dreamlike, labyrinthine hotel that exists entirely in your mind. How you arrived is a mystery and why you are there remains unclear. Performed in complete darkness over 35 minutes, this intense and exhilarating ride uses binaural sound and speech recognition technology to deceive the senses and transport audience members through rooms, down corridors and into the bowels of this strange and not altogether comfortable hotel. How your dream unfolds is up to you.
ARCADE
UK
Using the nostalgic 8-bit aesthetic of 1980’s video games, ARCADE’s interactive narrative explores the evolving relationship between players and avatars. This choose-your-own-path experience will fully immerse players in alternate environments in a completely dark shipping container, using 360 degree binaural sound and sensory effects. Players will be asked to address deep existential questions about free will and consciousness in a world where some may win and some may lose.
DARKFIELD RADIO
UK | South Korea | Taiwan
The Darkfield Radio project was an app delivering 360 degree immersive audio experiences to audiences at home, immersing audiences in strange and curious worlds, bringing new meaning to the familiar spaces we inhabit.
