ABOUT

We invite you to participate in our programme. It has been designed for you and people like you. Do not be afraid. Our programme is a simulation of what is real. But it is not real. Our staff will guide you and help you to improve your scores. Are you ready to proceed?

PARADISE is a 30 minute two person immersive audio experience for intimate partners in their own home. Part interactive game, part theatrical experience using speech recognition technology, audience members progress through a world of simulated scenarios that explore why we stay together or fall apart.

PARADISE is a collaboration between DARKFIELD and LIGHTSHED.IO and has been created with support and research from John Hopkins University, using the best evidence and innovative technology to create a shared exploration of intimate relationships to raise awareness, build empathy and inspire action to end intimate partner violence.

PLEASE BE AWARE SHOWS ARE 16+ AND EXPLORE THEMES OF INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE.

Experienced through the DARKFIELD Radio app available for Android and iPhone.
