DARKFIELD makes its long-awaited return to Brisbane with fan-favourite shipping container experiences SÉANCE and FLIGHT, following record-breaking seasons around the country, welcoming over 300,000 Australians. Produced by Realscape Productions, DARKFIELD invites audiences to step inside blacked-out shipping containers where strange and mysterious worlds unfold. The multi-sensory 360-degree audio experiences challenge the senses, exploring the depths of human psychology and perception.

SÉANCE

Seance inside bar, SEANCE

Step inside, take a seat but don't get comfortable. SÉANCE is an intense sonic performance that explores the psychology of a group of people who have been bombarded with suggestible material. In complete darkness, your senses become vulnerable to persuasion. The only caveat is that you proceed with an open mind.

FLIGHT

FLIGHT takes audience members through two worlds, two realities and two outcomes to their journey. The many worlds interpretation of Quantum Mechanics proposes all possible outcomes that could occur, are occurring in countless worlds of varying similarity. Find comfort in knowing that however ill advised your choices have been - there is a version of you who made better ones and is suffering less regret and embarrassment.
