The red drum of the Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House glows in the night Oct. 7, 2009, with the Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre to the right.

Darkfield, the international immersive theater experience, is bringing psychological horror that made a splash in London, Melbourne and New York to the AT&T Performing Arts Center this spring.

For six weeks, three shipping containers outside the Winspear Opera House will transform into sensory-challenging spaces. Each container features a 20-minute experience that plunges audiences into total darkness and uses theatrical storytelling and 360-degree sounds to simulate intense, unsettling situations that will leave visitors questioning reality.

Attendees can participate in eerie simulations like Seance, which takes place in a Victorian parlor and Coma, a hospital bed simulation that puts the audience in an unconscious limbo.

Afterwards, attendees can unwind at Flora Cantina with signature cocktails and light bites.

Details:


March 21-May 4 at AT&T Performing Arts Center, 2403 Flora St, Dallas, TX 75201. $20.
