DARKFIELD

Renowned for their trademark shipping containers popping up across the UK and internationally - DARKFIELD bring four of their most critically acclaimed productions to London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park from Tuesday 7 October - Sunday 2 November, in their biggest and longest ever presentation in London. Audiences can find themselves boarding a new airline, slipping into an immersive dream, lost in a labyrinthine hotel, or navigating a war torn world, across FLIGHT, COMA, EULOGY, and ARCADE.

Will you take on all four containers?

Immersing audiences into total darkness, using DARKFIELD’s trademark 360-degree binaural sound delivered through headphones, each container will immerse audiences in a new world where everything is not quite as it seems.  

ARCADE is an 80s game themed, choose your own path, interactive experience. Over 30 minutes, players will guide their avatar through a world ravaged by endless war: you can choose a side, win or lose the war, search for a peaceful route, or join a cult promising a better version of reality. Players will ask themselves difficult questions, as they navigate a world where some will win and others will lose. No two journeys through the experience will be the same.

COMA invites audiences to take part in a mass experiment, and together, slip into a collective dream, encouraged by a mysterious voice in their headphones. Harnessing all of the skills in DARKFIELD’s technical arsenal, COMA takes place in the pitch-darkness, utilising 360-degree binaural sound, that leave audiences wondering what’s real and what’s a dream. 

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’re there remains unclear. Just make sure you read the pamphlet. This intense and exhilarating ride uses 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, in part, up to you. 

FLIGHT takes place in a shipping container, the interior of which 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.
