DARKFIELD at The Ditch

DARKFIELD head over to Shoreditch Town Hall, taking over The Ditch for a two-week run of innovative immersive experiences at the forefront of technology and theatre.

Featuring a number of their experiences in a live space for the first time, the sensory effects and 360-degree binaural sound unique to DARKFIELD’s practice situates each participant at the centre of intense evolving narratives.

Dates: 1 – 12 April 2025 Times: varied, head to the website for full details

Headlining show: ARCADE ARCADE is a ‘choose-your-own-path’ experience that fully immerses players in alternate environments, employing binaural sound, sensory effects and complete darkness. No two journeys through the experience will be the same.

Other experiences also part of DARKFIELD at The Ditch:

DOUBLE A troubling exercise in familiarity for people sitting opposite each other. It explores the Capgras delusion, an uncommon condition in which the sufferer is convinced that a loved one has been replaced by an exact replica with malign intentions.

VISITORS A reflection on our irrepressible desire to touch and explores why the dead find so little comfort in the world of the living.

ETERNAL Experienced lying down in a bed, ETERNAL explores the quandary of eternal life and wonders what price you would pay to achieve it.

THE DITCH BAR The bar will be open from 5pm each weekday and from 12pm on Saturdays, until 10.30pm, welcoming everyone – even if you don’t have a ticket.
