In The Dark - Metanoia Theatre

Overview

Step inside the mysterious world of The Fellowship of the Aquara, in a strange, immersive theatre piece from the artists at Metanoia Theatre. Part stage production, part audience game, In The Dark forces participants to decide who they can really trust, as writer Georgia Symons and director Iris Gaillard interrogate concepts of mysticism, spirituality and faith.

Information regarding the show is tantalisingly slim, although we do know that it involves the 'renewal ceremony' of an enigmatic, mantis shrimp-worshipping organisation, one based around the teachings of Head Crustacean Poseidon Maleström BFA. Not exactly a typical night out at the theatre, but you can’t say you’re not curious.

In The Dark is part of the Menatoia Theatre Live Works Program, a season of interactive performances at the Brunswick Mechanics Institute that also included Hallie Shellam’s recent sold-out show Is This Somewhere You’ve Been Before?.
