On 1st September, the UK company Darkfield, in collaboration with Realscape Productions, is launching in New Zealand with the visionary new audio experience DOUBLE, already deemed “unsettling audio that turns your home into a sci-fi dystopia” by Guardian.
DOUBLE is the groundbreaking new project from the Darkfield Radio branch that allows you to experience something truly unique using only your headphones, a mobile phone and a kitchen table. That’s right, you won’t even need to leave your house! All you’re expected to do is to sit opposite your partner at the kitchen table and tune in for a 20 minute broadcast.
DOUBLE explores the Capgras delusion – a condition in which the sufferer is convinced that a loved one has been replaced by an exact replica with malign intentions. It blurs the lines of what is real and what is imagined.
Created at the intersections of technology and theatre, the hallmark of this project is the use of 360-degree binaural (3D) sound to manipulate the audience’s sense of reality, with the impressive design creating an atmosphere that perplexes the senses and casts doubt from inside your own house. Tapping into psychology and the very nature of the human condition, the Darkfield work transports their audiences to a new reality without needing to go anywhere.
DOUBLE opens Tuesday 1 September 2020.
Session times: Tues, Thurs, Fri and Sat at 8pm, 10pm and 11.30pm.
Tickets are available via the Darkfield website from Thursday 27 August 2020
Price: $10
