DARKFIELD RADIO: DOUBLE, VISITORS and ETERNAL
DARKFIELD • Professional company
About DARKFIELD
DARKFIELD presents three immersive 360-degree sound experiences at Old Lab: DOUBLE, VISITORS and ETERNAL. DOUBLE is a troubling exploration of the Capgras delusion — an uncommon condition in which the sufferer is convinced a loved one has been replaced by an evil replica. VISITORS explores why the dead find so little comfort in the world of the living. Experienced lying down in bed, ETERNAL asks what price you would pay for eternal life. Three shows play out in the same space, allowing audiences to choose which world unfolds around them. Each runs for 25 minutes. Suitable for ages 14 and over.
Why see this show?
Three dark, intimate sound experiences in complete darkness — you choose your story. DARKFIELD's radio format is genuinely unsettling in the best way, and the choice between delusion, hauntings and immortality is itself part of the experience.
