Taking place at Aviva Studios, FLIGHT invites you to board a commercial airliner – and take two possible journeys.

This spine-tingling experience explores multiverse theory and quantum uncertainty, as your aircraft descends twice into alternate realities. With its unsettling stillness and precise sound design, FLIGHT taps into deep-seated fears and philosophical questions alike.

Did we mention the whole experience takes place in complete darkness inside a 40ft shipping container?

FLIGHT is just one of three shows by DARKFIELD happening in Greater Manchester this autumn.
