This show belongs to the Adelaide Fringe 2026 season. This season is now over.

A row of vintage red velvet theatre seats is lined up along the wall. Above the seats, attached to the wall hangs a series of large over-ear black headphones. The foreground shows part of a table while the background fades into darkness.
A long row of vintage red velvet theatre seats stretches into the distance on the right side of the image. Mounted on the teal and wood-panelled wall above the seats is a matching row of large black over-ear headphones, each hanging from a hook.
A group of people stand in two facing rows on either side of a long, narrow table. Their hands rest along the table’s edge. There are two small hanging lamps above the centre of the table casting a soft, focused glow downward.

SEANCE - DARKFIELD

★★★★ "Astounding audio design creates a myriad of journeys into the imagination." - Arts Hub

A twist on a traditional séance relying on psychology and inclination towards superstition to alter your perception of reality.

Step inside, take a seat but don’t get comfortable.

DARKFIELD's fan-favourite SÉANCE — explores the psychology of a group of people who have been bombarded with suggestible material, and asks that they believe in what might be conjured up into the room with them.

Transforming a shipping container into a Victorian séance room, SÉANCE makes audiences question not just their beliefs, but also their own senses using complete darkness and binaural 360 degree sound.

We ask you proceed with an open-mind.

Do you believe…?
