Arcade

DARKFIELD presents ARCADE: but this isn’t an ordinary arcade and these are not ordinary arcade machines. Every machine offers you the chance to enter the world of the game and choose your own unique journey. As you guide your avatar through a world ravaged by endless war, there are many routes you can take and there are many different outcomes. You can choose a side, win or lose the war, search out a more peaceful route, or join a cult promising a better version of reality. Where will your decisions lead you?

Cascando

Cascando by Pan Pan Theatre is an outdoor experience, transforming Samuel Beckett's 1963 radio play into a physical journey. Directed by Gavin Quinn, the production leads the audience on a rhythmic ensemble experience, wearing black cloaks and headphones and becoming part of the spectacle.
