Dark Corners
the future of history
the future of history
Dark Corners is site-responsive, immersive, promenade theatre, using projection, soundscape, and kinetic sculpture, with a community component, to tell true histories, where they happened, in the words of those who witnessed.
The new technologies of projection-mapping and augmented reality enhance the oldest of art forms; true tales of the ancestors. The team works with archives, architecture, local historians, and first nations consultants, to create beautiful and haunting experiences of history. Dark Corners illuminates the past and brings the long-dead to life.
To protect our intellectual property, we do not publicise our 'making of Dark Corners' video. If you are considering commissioning Dark Corners for your town, please contact us to request it.
See a video below from Kwinana's rendition, filmed at Smirk's Cottage, Kwinana’s heritage precinct.
As the dusk fades, the Night-watchman leads you on a journey through history, enchanting you with tales of former residents. From his lantern, shimmering figures emerge, painting pictures on the walls with light, before dissolving into the night. Dark Corners illuminates the past and brings the long-dead to life. The new technologies of projection-mapping and augmented reality enhance the oldest of art forms; true tales of the ancestors.
