The Didsbury Arts Festival kicks off this Saturday 24th, with FLIGHT running 10 times a day on weekends & 7 on weekdays
FLIGHT simulates an Airbus 320 Aeroplane economy cabin and flight, and over 30 minutes explores the Many-Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics, taking audience members through two worlds, two realities and two possible outcomes to their journey.
FLIGHT takes place in absolute darkness inside a 40ft shipping container. Its interior exactly resembles an Airbus 320 Aeroplane economy cabin and over 30 minutes explores the Many-Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics, taking audience members through two worlds, two realities and two possible outcomes to their journey. There are many worlds in which this plane lands safely.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we’d like to direct your attention to the on-board safety demonstration and ask that you give us your full attention. In the unlikely event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure alternative scenarios will be provided. Next of kin will be provided. Additional desserts will be provided. An extra pillow. Trumpets and gongs… We’re not responsible for your final destination…”
DARKFIELD has taken its containers all over the world including the Venice International Film Festival, the Tribeca Film Festival, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and most recently Saudi Arabia. And for 9 days from 24 June – 2 July – with 7 shows a day & 10 on weekends – FLIGHT will be just outside Didsbury Library!
