“Reality is just a hallucination that we can all agree on.” - Anil Seth

Under certain circumstances even the most unshakable and reliable truths can unravel, and untangling all the loose ends and rolling everything back onto the spool is sometimes too much to bear. So maybe we should exchange our ordinary illusions for other, wilder ones....

DOUBLE is a troubling exercise in familiarity for people sitting opposite each other on either side of a kitchen table, exploring the Capgras delusion, an uncommon condition in which the sufferer is convinced that a loved one has been replaced by an exact replica with malign intentions.

DOUBLE is an experience for 8 audience members at a time. It is preferable for you to attend in a pair, each person will need their own ticket. If you book just one ticket and come alone, you may be paired with another audience member.

DOUBLE was part of Season One of the DARKFIELD RADIO digital project and for the first time is being presented as a physical installation.

DARKFIELD RADIO launched to critical acclaim: the project was an app delivering 360 degree immersive audio experiences to audiences at home, immersing audiences in strange and curious worlds, bringing new meaning to the familiar spaces we inhabit. The pieces have featured in major film festivals such as Venice International Film Festival, IDFA, Raindance Film Festival, Tribeca Film Festival, SXSW, Kaohsiung Film Festival and others, and also won Columbia’s Digital Storytelling Lab’s Breakthrough Award in 2021, in recognition of the year’s most innovative narrative. Now the shows tour as physical installations, to venues and festivals worldwide.
