DARKFIELD returns to the Garden of Unearthly Delights for Adelaide Fringe 2026
with three mind-altering shows in complete darkness
STEP INTO COMPLETE DARKNESS
INVISIBLE
★ ★ ★ ★
"...an unnerving and thought-provoking experience, which will have you on edge.." - Arts Hub
ENTER. SIT DOWN.
PLEASE WELCOME TO THE STAGE…
The Invisible Man.
He’s here to teach you how to disappear.
Step into total darkness and meet the Invisible Man - your guide through a mind-bending 360° audio experience that questions what it means to be seen, known, or real.
INVISIBLE places you in a miniature theatre inside a shipping container. With DARKFIELD’s signature 360° sound and total darkness, it feels like someone unseen is standing just metres away.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
This isn’t theatre as you know it. It’s a 17-minute encounter in complete darkness - one voice, one question: now that you know how to disappear, what will you do with it?
FLIGHT
★ ★ ★ ★
"...YOU’LL BE SEARCHING FOR YOUR NEAREST EXIT..." - TIMEOUT MELBOURNE
WELCOME ABOARD. TAKE YOUR SEAT.
PUT ON YOUR HEADPHONES.
As the plane takes off, reality begins to split.
FLIGHT is an immersive audio experience set in total darkness, inside a replica airplane cabin inside a shipping container.
Using DARKFIELD’s 360° sound, it explores the many-worlds theory on a journey between two realities. In many the plane lands safely.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
This is not a flight simulator. You’ll remain seated, wearing headphones, as the experience builds the sensation of flight entirely through sound and tactile effects in the darkness. Duration: 22 minutes.
séance
STEP INSIDE TAKE A SEAT, BUT DON’T GET COMFORTABLE.
A twist on a traditional séance relying on psychology and inclination towards superstition to alter your perception of reality.
Step inside, take a seat but don’t get comfortable.
DARKFIELD's fan-favourite SÉANCE — explores the psychology of a group of people who have been bombarded with suggestible material, and asks that they believe in what might be conjured up into the room with them.
Transforming a shipping container into a Victorian séance room, SÉANCE makes audiences question not just their beliefs, but also their own senses using complete darkness and binaural 360 degree sound.
We ask you proceed with an open-mind.
Do you believe…?

★★★★ "Astounding audio design creates a myriad of journeys into the imagination." - Arts HubS
WHAT IS DARKFIELD?
This isn’t theatre.
It’s sensory disruption.
You enter the container.
Headphones on. Complete darkness.
DARKFIELD uses precision sound and pitch-black space to reshape your sense of what’s real.
Each experience lasts around 20 minutes - short, sharp, and hard to forget.
