Darkfield premieres its fifth immersive audio experience ‘Invisible’ at Adelaide Fringe

Darkfield is premiering its fifth immersive audio experience Invisible in Australia at the Adelaide Fringe alongside its other experiences ‘Séance’ and ‘Flight’.  

Darkfield’s fifth container, Invisible, will make its Australian premiere at The Garden of Unearthly Delights in Rundle Park from 14th February to 23rd March 2025.

Invisible is an immersive audio experience inside a blacked-out, 40ft shipping container disguised as a theatre. It explores the irresistible temptations of invisibility and also the psychopathic delusions of a dangerous man, questioning our understanding of what it means to be present in the world. Is it enough for us to believe we exist or do we need a witness?

Amy Johnson, producer at Realscape Productions noted “Australians can’t get enough of Darkfield. Following a record-breaking tour of Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane and Melbourne in 2024, Séance  and Flight have seen over 300,000 patrons since we started, so we can’t wait to see how audiences embrace Invisible.”

“Adelaide audiences have a penchant for the dark and mind-bending, so we know The Garden of Unearthly Delights is the perfect place for Invisible to make its Australian premiere.”

Created by UK-based Artistic Directors Glen Neath and David Rosenberg, Darkfield invites audiences to step inside shipping containers where strange worlds unfold. The immersive experiences take place in complete darkness, and challenge the senses using 360-degree binaural audio, to explore the depths of human psychology and perception.

Darkfield offer the following descriptions of their experiences:

INVISIBLE
Please welcome to the stage The Invisible Man. Listen as he teaches you how to disappear. Now that you know the secret… what are you going to do with this remarkable talent? Will you use it for good—or give in to the temptation of chaos? After all, if you can’t be seen, how can you be held responsible for all the terrible things you might choose to do?

SÉANCE
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. We only ask 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.

Produced in Australia by Realscape Productions, DARKFIELD has to-date seen nearly 100,000 South Australians take the plunge into darkness and experience heart-pounding thrill.
