Going Dark – new play exploring our relationship with the cosmos

Going Dark tells the story of Max – an astronomer who works in his local planetarium. When he is diagnosed with an eye condition which is causing him to lose his sight, he must re-evaluate his relationship with the world around him.

Using the latest software in projection, lighting and sound technology, theatre company Sound&Fury create a truly immersing environment for audiences.  Mesmerising sound and visuals guide theatre goers on Max’s journey as his ‘view’ of the world begins to take on a new meaning.

Going Dark explores parallel separations – one of a man being separated from his immediate environment and the other of modern society having lost an immediate appreciation of the cosmos. How do we actually perceive the world? How might losing our sight allow us to understand the world better?
