WARNINGS AND SUITABILITY

  • WHAT IS DARKFIELD ?
    DARKFIELD is a collection of multi-sensory audio experiences that challenge the senses, exploring the depths of human psychology and perception. Each DARKFIELD experience takes place inside a custom-built shipping container and uses binaural audio, sensory deprivation and sensory effects to place the audience at the center of a narrative completely at odds with the space it occupies.
  • HOW LONG IS EACH DARKFIELD EXPERIENCE ?
    Run times vary depending on the container you choose: SÉANCE: Allow 25 minutes FLIGHT: Allow 30 minutes COMA: Allow 30 minutes
  • CAN I LEAVE ONCE AN EXPERIENCE HAS BEGUN ?
    We kindly ask that patrons do not leave during the performance, as it is unsafe to move in the dark and can disrupt the performance for others. In the case of emergency, we will safely guide patrons to the exit.
