FLIGHT by DARKFIELD to Make European Premiere at Galway International Arts Festival

This July, creators of immersive experiences, DARKFIELD, are taking their shipping container-based experience, FLIGHT, to Galway International Arts Festival. Having toured extensively throughout the UK, North America, Asia, and Australia, this marks the company's premiere in Ireland and Europe.

DARKFIELD are world-renowned for their unique combination of cutting-edge 360 degree binaural sound, sensory effects and complete darkness to create immersive experiences, situating participants at the centre of intense, evolving narratives. 

One of DARKFIELD's most popular and acclaimed immersive experiences, FLIGHT, will premiere at the Galway International Arts Festival from 13 - 26 July at the heart of the festival in Festival Garden, Eyre Square. In a shipping container with an interior that resembles an Airbus 320 economy cabin, FLIGHT explores the Many-Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics, taking audience members through two worlds, two realities and two possible outcomes to their journey. There are many worlds in which this plane lands safely.

DARKFIELD Artistic Directors, David Rosenberg and Glen Neath, commented: “We've wanted to bring one of our containers to Ireland for a long time so we're absolutely thrilled to be coming to Galway International Arts Festival with FLIGHT. Having presented our work across the world, we know how much audiences enjoy the worlds we create, so we're very excited to welcome Irish audiences to experience FLIGHT.”
