Transmission: into the dark
Transmission is a radio-based live performance inviting you on a journey through suburban streets and into the dark.
It’s night time. You receive an address to a local residence. You listen to a mysterious radio broadcast – it seems to be talking to you. The transmission draws you towards unknown destinations – weaving through the streets of Newport and inward to the soul of the night.
Transmission – into the dark invites audiences to embark on a 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.

Transmission began in 2016 as Noir Trail. It has evolved over this time. Some elements inspired by our work on Sea Inside in Hammerfest in 2019.
