Dark Matter is a gripping drama set in a garden large enough to accommodate an audience of 40-50. The production was initially created as part of the Northern Scottish Touring Fund programme in 2011.

Vision Mechanics is performing Dark Matter at the theaterszene europa Scottish-German Theatre Festival in May 2012.

Dark Matter is available for touring in autumn 2012.

In an ordinary garden something extraordinary is about to happen. Shadows lengthen; the contrast between dark and light intensifies. Suddenly you sense movement.

Enveloped in a soundscape and sheltered by black umbrellas, our small audience will be immersed in fantastical story that rises from the dark earth; a tale about the shadows creeping up from our subconscious.

The audience will be aware of the flickering images conjured by our storyteller. Projected onto plants and trees, shapes appear and disappear as the Dark Matter rises up from below.
