DARKFIELD:

DARKFIELD is a collection of multi-sensory audio experiences that challenge the senses, exploring the depths of human psychology and perception.

Each DARKFIELD experience takes place inside a custom-built shipping container and uses binaural audio, sensory deprivation and sensory effects to place the audience at the centre of a narrative completely at odds with the space it occupies.

Run times vary depending on the container you choose:

• SÉANCE: allow 20 minutes, run time approx 16 minutes
• FLIGHT: allow 20 minutes, run time approx 16 minutes
• COMA: allow 25 minutes, run time approx 22 minutes

Please note that due to the unique nature of the experience, there is strictly no late seating. Latecomers will not be admitted once doors close.

If you plan to book multiple shows, please allow 10 minutes minimum between the end of one show and the start of the next.

Photos and videos are encouraged while entering the experiences. Devices will need to be switched off before the show begins.

For SÉANCE, bags and jackets may be placed under seats.

For FLIGHT, bags and jackets may be placed in overhead luggage compartments or under the seats in front of you.

For COMA, bags and jackets may be placed in the bunk bed with you.

DARKFIELD is not suitable for those who are under the age of 13. Individuals aged 13 – 15 must be accompanied by a responsible guardian.

A responsible guardian can be a parent, family friend, teacher, older sibling, etc., who is over the age of 18 and is able to be mindful of the safety and wellbeing of the younger patron they are bringing with them.

The performance has dark themes, can be confronting or scary for some patrons, and is set in complete darkness. For health and safety reasons we aren’t able to permit children, no matter how brave they are.

We like to say it is “intense” and “unsettling” – some patrons find it scary depending on their fears and anxieties, but others just enjoy the nature of the experience.

We kindly ask that patrons do not leave during the performance, as it is unsafe to move in the dark and can disrupt the performance for others. In the case of an emergency, we will safely guide patrons to the exit.

Please note that due to the unique nature of the experience, there is strictly no late seating. Latecomers will not be admitted once doors close.

If you miss your check-in time, you should speak to a staff member when you arrive for assistance, and if possible, we will try to accommodate you if there is availability in a later show* or else sadly, you will lose your ticket.

*Subject to availability at show start time and at the discretion of the staff member. Patrons who miss their session are not eligible for a refund or exchange.

It is possible to purchase tickets on-site. However, we highly recommend getting your tickets in advance as tickets are limited.

No. Tickets purchased in advance are delivered digitally. Upon completing your order, you will receive your e-ticket QR codes that you can show to our team on the door.

Bundle buyers, you will receive an email confirmation at time of purchase. Please allow 24 hours for your e-ticket QR codes to be delivered. There will be 3 QR codes, one for each of your experiences.

We recommend leaving at least 10 minutes between the end of one session time and the start of another. You may want extra time to be able to process the experience before jumping into the next.

There is a bar and restroom on site for your comfort between sessions.

We can’t reveal the secrets of the show!

You will experience a jolting chair movement in SÉANCE and FLIGHT. This experience may not be suitable for expectant mothers.

While there is no strobe effect deployed, there is a short burst of flashing lights in FLIGHT that is similar to lightning.

Performances take place inside an air conditioned, closed 40ft shipping container – these experiences may not be suitable for you depending on your level of claustrophobia. While we do not lock the doors, once the show begins, we require guests to remain in their seats. This experience may also not be suitable for Guests with a history of heart conditions. Due to the nature of the experience, guests enter at their own risk.

During SÉANCE and FLIGHT there are sudden, unexpected seat movements which may cause pain or discomfort for some back conditions.

SÉANCE – one sudden jolt later in the experience which can feel impactful in the darkness.

FLIGHT – some jolting back and forth throughout which is not extreme but can feel impactful in the darkness.

All performances have dark themes that may be confronting or triggering – if you would like more specific info, please ask the team at the container or contact boxoffice@attpac.org with your concerns.

The levels are regularly checked but the experience can be quite loud in parts and may not be suitable if you are sensitive to loud noise. We are unable to adjust individual headsets.

The headphones are over the ear, so you can choose to bring ear plugs if you are sensitive to loud noise.

There is airconditioning inside the containers – on extremely hot days, it may not be super cool.
