DARKFIELD presents two internationally acclaimed immersive audio experiences for the first time in Toronto, staged inside custom-built 40-foot shipping containers at STACKT Market.  SÉANCE and FLIGHT plunge audiences into complete darkness, using 360° binaural sound and meticulously timed sensory effects to transport them into unsettling territories.

Staged inside purpose-built 40-foot shipping containers, these genre-defying works use precisely timed physical and environmental effects to create psychologically charged alternate realities. Get your Halloween-themed fix now!

SÉANCE

Runtime: 16 minutes (allow 20)
Step inside a long parlour room, take your seat at the séance table… and don’t get comfortable. In total darkness, suggestion takes hold; the boundary between imagination and reality begins to blur. A twist on a traditional séance relying on psychology and inclination towards superstition to alter your perception of reality. Step inside, take a seat, but don’t get comfortable.  

SÉANCE transforms a shipping container into a Victorian séance room. It explores the psychology of a group of people who have been bombarded with suggestible material and asks that they believe in what might be conjured up into the room with them.

Do you believe? ​

FLIGHT

Runtime: 22 minutes (allow 25)
Two realities. Two outcomes. One unsettling question: what if both are true? Inspired by the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, FLIGHT tracks parallel versions of the same journey. A meticulously crafted cabin environment, turbulence cues, and immersive-audio storytelling invite audiences to confront the choices (and chances) that define our paths.

Two journeys, two worlds, two realities: There are many worlds in which this plane lands safely. In the unlikely event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, alternative scenarios will be provided. FLIGHT explores the many worlds interpretation of Quantum Mechanics proposes all possible outcomes that could occur are occurring in countless worlds of varying similarity.

Not responsible for your final destination.
