Auckland Live and Realscape Productions are thrilled to present DARKFIELD - the internationally acclaimed ground-breaking immersive audio experience - in New Zealand for the first time. Known for pushing the boundaries of sensory storytelling, DARKFIELD offers audiences a unique theatrical experience that blurs the line between reality and imagination.

DARKFIELD will present two experiences: SÉANCE and FLIGHT. Set inside custom-built shipping containers, these pitch-black environments utilise 360-degree binaural sound and innovative special effects to create thrilling, immersive worlds that challenge the senses and explore the depths of human psychology and perception. Each individual experience lasts between 20 and 25 minutes and will have staggered start times, meaning audiences can move easily to attend both while enjoying an evening in Aotea Square.

ABOUT SÉANCE

SÉANCE is the first DARKFIELD shipping container experience, transforming the interior into a Victorian séance room. Designed to blur the line between what is real and what is imagined, it explores the psychology of a group of people, asking that they believe not only what is happening inside the container, but also in what might be conjured up into the room with them. 

ABOUT FLIGHT

FLIGHT’s container interior exactly replicates an airline economy cabin complete with seats, windows, a TV screen for in-flight announcements, and even in-flight safety cards. The unsettling journey in complete darkness explores the Many-Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics, taking audience members through two journeys, two worlds, two realities. There are many worlds in which this plane lands safely.
