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 Melbourne and Adelaide Fringe comes to Wyndham. Winner of the 2025 John Chataway Innovation Award and SA Touring Award. Set exclusively within the environs of Werribee, 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.

Limited capacity for optimum experience.

Created by one step at a time like this with Richard Jordan Productions.
