Pioneering immersive theatre producers DARKFIELD return to Greater Manchester for first time in seven years!
DARKFIELD - pioneering producers of innovative, immersive experiences at the forefront of technology - announce their first shows in Greater Manchester for seven years. In an exciting collaboration between three iconic venues across the region - Lowry, Aviva Studios, home of Factory International, and HOME Manchester - DARKFIELD will present their three most critically acclaimed experiences from Wednesday 10 - Sunday 21 September.
Renowned for their trademark shipping containers popping up across the UK and internationally, bringing mysterious and exciting experiences across the country - DARKFIELD bring three of their most highly acclaimed productions to Greater Manchester this September. Audiences can find themselves immersed in the supernatural, boarding a new airline, or navigating a war-torn world, across SÉANCE, FLIGHT and ARCADE.
DARKFIELD present their newest experience, ARCADE, at Lowry in Salford. Using the nostalgic aesthetic of 1980’s video games, ARCADE’s interactive narrative explores the evolving relationship between players and avatars. Over 30 minutes, in the darkness of one of DARKFIELD’s trademark shipping containers, audiences will choose their own path through the story whilst experiencing DARKFIELD’s signature 360-degree binaural sound and sensory effects for a fully immersive experience.
Aviva Studios, home of Factory International, will host one of DARKFIELD’s most popular and critically-acclaimed experiences, FLIGHT. Over 30 minutes in total darkness, FLIGHT explores the Many-Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics, taking audience members through two worlds, two realities and two possible outcomes to their journey.
At HOME Manchester, DARKFIELD present their first shipping container experience, SÉANCE. The interior of a 24ft container is transformed into a Victorian séance room, and asks audiences to believe not only what is happening inside the container, but also in what might be conjured up into the room with them.
DARKFIELD commented: “We are delighted to be returning to Greater Manchester to present our shows in collaboration with three incredible venues in HOME Manchester, Lowry (Salford), and Aviva Studios, home of Factory International, and we can’t wait to welcome audiences across the region to experience the strange worlds we’ve created.”
