Séance

We will not prey upon the paranoid, the bereaved, the credulous, the wide-eyed, the weak or the inbred…in return we ask you to proceed with an open mind. Séance is an entertainment only and we cannot hold the medium responsible for the outcome.

SÉANCE, the first DARKFIELD shipping container experience, transforms the interior of a shipping container into a Victorian séance room. Over 20 minutes it explores the psychology of a group of people, and asks that they believe in what might be conjured up into the room with them.

DARKFIELD produces innovative immersive experiences at the forefront of technology and theatre – both location based experiences and digital work. DARKFIELD’s work utilises striking sets and shipping containers, binaural 360 degree sound, complete darkness and a variety of sensory effects, where each participant is situated at the centre of intense, evolving narratives. DARKFIELD has toured globally, reaching over 500,000 audiences across the UK, Asia, Australia and Mexico. The experiences have featured in major film festivals including BFI London Film Festival, Venice, IDFA, Tribeca, Raindance, SXSW and in 2021 won Columbia’s Digital Storytelling Lab’s Breakthrough Award in recognition of the year’s most innovative narrative.

Séance will take place in a shipping container outside of the Forum.  It will be labelled and signposted accordingly. There will also be Norwich Theatre stewards on hand to support with any questions
