Transmission - into the dark
It’s night time. You receive an address to a secret location. A mysterious voice seems to be talking to you. A transmission is drawing you towards unknown destinations – weaving through the darkened streets and inward to the soul of the night.
The sell-out hit of the Melbourne Fringe and winner of the SA Touring Award. Set exclusively within the environs of Port Willunga, Transmission – into the dark invites audiences to embark on an intimate nocturnal journey that interweaves site-specific radio, installation, night-walking and the sky. A night where the strange is real and the real is strange.
