Welcome to DARKFIELD. We hope you enjoy your stay. At check-in we will issue you a key card and allocate you a chaperone to guide you to the other side of the dream. Follow the right path and don't volunteer to become the subject of the eulogy every guest is preparing to deliver.

EULOGY is a surreal, otherworldly journey through a dreamlike, labyrinthine hotel that exists entirely in your mind. How you arrived is a mystery and why you are there remains unclear. Just make sure you read the pamphlet.

Performed in complete darkness over 35 minutes, this intense and exhilarating ride uses binaural sound and speech recognition technology to deceive the senses and transport audience members through rooms, down corridors and into the bowels of this strange and not altogether comfortable hotel. How your dream unfolds is, in part, up to you. However, make sure you follow the right path and don't volunteer to become the subject of the eulogy every guest is preparing to deliver.

EULOGY is both an intense and exhilarating ride and a deeper exploration of the relative merits of an embodied human conscious experience versus one that only exists in the imagination.

    • HEARING IMPAIRMENTS:
      Unfortunately, as our work is audio based and in the dark, we are limited in our access provision for those with hearing impairments. This means we cannot provide BSL interpretation or captioning. Induction loops are currently unavailable, but we can adjust audio volume, or make the recordings mono for those with partial impairments.

    • LIGHT SENSITIVITY:
      There are no flashing lights in EULOGY.
