Darkfield present new shipping container show EULOGY on London’s Southbank

Producers of innovative immersive experiences at the forefront of technology and theatre, Darkfield, have announced their return to live in-person work with new shipping container show Eulogy, running on the Southbank from 6-17 October before visiting Nottingham.

Launching as part of the Immersive Art and XR programme at BFI London Film Festival 2021, Eulogy is a communal experience lasting 30 minutes that uses binaural sound and speech recognition technology to immerse each audience member into a dreamlike, labyrinthine hotel that is imagined in the darkness. Audience members are transported through rooms and down corridors, into a car park, a canteen and a lift which transports them between floors, taking them deeper into the dream. Eulogy is both an intense and exhilarating ride and a deeper exploration of the relative merits of an embodied human conscious experience versus one that only exists in the imagination.

Artistic Directors Glen Neath and David Rosenberg said: “We’re thrilled with the reception we received for Darkfield Radio during the lockdown but we can’t wait to get back inside a container and turn all the lights out. We’re very excited to be opening the show at such a prestigious festival and look forward to continuing to build our relationship with the Lakeside in Nottingham who have been brilliant supporters.”

Following its London run, Eulogy will then move to Nottingham Lakeside for a residency from 20 – 31 October. 

Tickets go on sale for London on 20 September, with booking for Nottingham open now here.
