Unlike no other cultural event, news of a new show from Punchdrunk puts the CultureLabel team here into an absolute frenzy. This time though, we are having to seriously question if we are brave enough to even apply for tickets…
The pioneers of immersive theatre are currently working on the launch Playstation 3’s third game in the Resistance franchise, holding a one off unique ‘survival experiment’ that will combine theatre and gaming with, we’re told, a large dose of terror.
‘…as darkness descended’ begins at Waterloo Station Arches, and will feature you as the gamer, providing a real-life prequel to the beginning of ‘Resistance 3,’ where audience members will need to work together in order to ‘survive’, taking part in tasks set by the production in order to avoid being eliminated.
The exact details of the day are a closely guarded secret, but we do know inspiration from the game comes from the Japanese traditions of Dark Rides and Walks of Terror and running shoes are ‘highly recommended’.
This will undoubtedly be one of the scariest and most adrenaline-fueled theatre experiences of the year and you can apply for two free tickets (you’re going to need a friend) before Aug 30th now at accesslive@see.net for Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th September, stating your preferred date.
Good luck!
