Cosmic questions and a new vision of the universe in the new immersive production from Sound&Fury, Going Dark.

How far can you see? A mile? A hundred miles? Or to the furthest shores of the universe to a far away galaxy? As a narrator in a planetarium, it’s Max’s job to ask the cosmic questions. But in a society polluting the night sky with light and happier to explore the stars in a waxworks museum, he feels increasingly out of place. When, in Going Dark, his life is suddenly turned upside down, Max discovers that understanding the universe requires a different kind of vision.

The creators of Going Dark, Sound&Fury previously stunned audiences at the Young Vic with claustrophobic submarine-set drama Kursk. In creating Going Dark, they conducted detailed research with astronomy and visual perception experts before using projection, lighting and sound technology to make their immersive idea a reality.
