Go to Viola’s Room barefoot and wearing headphones
An audio-driven journey through a moonlit fever dream, Viola’s Room sees you barefoot and wearing headphones, as you feel your way through a labyrinthine installation while an unseen narrator reveals a story of innocence lost and obsession unleashed.
Written by Booker Prize-shortlisted Daisy Johnson, Viola’s Room reimagines a classic gothic mystery for a new audience. It distils two decades of Punchdrunk’s immersive practice into an intimate sensory adventure that promises to infuse the dreams of anyone who dares to follow the light.
Dates: Bookings open until Sunday 18 August 2024
Tickets: From £28.50
