An immerisve flights experience will be landing in Nottingham next month.

Not recommended for people of a nervous disposition and not suitable for those who are claustrophobic, FLIGHT, will welcome passengers on board from Saturday, February 15 to Sunday, February 23.

From tech-theatre innovators Darkfield, this unsettling 30 minute performance takes place in complete darkness in a pop-up venue outside Lakeside Arts, adjacent to the DH Lawrence Pavillion.

It is the follow-up to their sell-out SEANCE experience and once again takes place in a transformed shipping container, although this time it has been turned into an exact replica of a Boeing 707 aircraft carriage.

More than 110,000 people from around the globe have been part of the touring immersive theatre experience.

Nominated for VAULT Festival’s 2019 Innovation Award, FLIGHT utilises binaural sound technology to create a narrative exploring parallel universes and quantum mechanics, taking passengers through two worlds, two realities, and giving two possible outcomes to their journey.

Darkfield, founded by Glen Neath and David Rosenberg, is an ongoing theatrical project made up of experiences taking place in shipping containers which explore fear and anxiety.

Each show functions without live actors, employing binaural sound, pitch darkness and movement to put each audience member at the centre of an evolving, consuming narrative.

FLIGHT premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2018 and has had three sold out runs since.

Part of the Nottingham Festival of Science and Curiosity – a week-long festival which takes science, technology, engineering and maths out of the lab and into our everyday lives – 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...

Shona Powell, Artistic Director at Lakeside Arts says: "Darkfield’s Flight is a vivid storytelling experience where the sound paints the pictures in your head. When I did it at Edinburgh, I asked the stranger next to me if they’d mind if I grabbed their hand if necessary. Fortunately, they agreed, but I’m not going to tell you whether I actually found it necessary."

Times run throughout the day. Tickets are £8 per person.
