Flight
FLIGHT is the second work presented by DARKFIELD, the creators of 2017 Edinburgh Festival sell out hit SÉANCE. The performance takes place in a 40ft high-cube container in absolute darkness.
Flight explores the Many-Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics and how this conveniently tells us how to avoid the worst case scenarios that we all fear.
DARKFIELD, founded by Glen Neath & David Rosenberg, is an ongoing project. Ultimately a collection of individual experiences in shipping containers that explore fear and anxiety.
Each show employs binaural sound, pitch darkness and movement to situate each audience member at the centre of an evolving narrative.
‘DARKFIELD are leading intrepid audiences somewhere even further out of their comfort zones.’ – The Guardian (‘Best shows at the Edinburgh Festival 2018’), Alex Needham
‘Flight…harnesses the very uncertainty of pretending, and in doing so create an experience that’s properly exhilarating. It’s a perfectly programmed high-art theme park ride, a reminder of one’s closeness at all times to death that spits you out into the sunlight feeling palpably, certainly, alive.’ – Exeunt Magazine, Ben Kulvichit
‘A truly singular and provocative piece of art; one you may well walk out of shaken but will ultimately fell enriched by the experience’ – 5 stars, Cinema Fringes, Evan Popplestone
