Happening at HOME, SÉANCE transforms the interior of a shipping container into a Victorian séance room. Seated in pitch-black silence around a long table, audience members take part in a Victorian-style séance where sound takes centre stage – letting the imagination run riot.

A chilling 20-minute exploration of suggestion and belief, it’s a clever experiment in how easily we can be scared by what we don’t see.

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