complete sensory focus - no visual distractions, just pure, live, sound
360-degree immersion - the musicians are positioned… well… everywhere
moving 3D sound - the music isn't static. you are enveloped in music. sometimes you feel & hear a musician right next to you, sometimes a way behind, and sometimes their sound almost passes through you
our secret repertoire - if you're open to the unexpected - and especially to ambient, nu-folk, experimental, Scandi and soundscapes - you'll love it

“This experience transcends genre, language & expectation. It’s an hour of pure, unadulterated magic - a reminder that sometimes, the most extraordinary experiences are the ones we can’t see.
The Live Review
"The musical brilliance, interpretation and creativity is an amazement.... Sublime. A unique experience not to be missed."
London Theatre 1
In The Dark is unlike any performance we've ever attended, and if it encourages people to focus on the music when at gigs in the future without distracting those around them, it'll have changed live music for the better.
