Space 18, the huge new theatrical complex built specifically to house immersive and experiential theatre is now even bigger! Combining 7 buildings, 35 floors and now more than 40,000 square feet, Space 18 is preparing for an even bigger and deadly reveal for its new World Premiere date of 1 September 2019.
Dalton Dale, Artistic Director, Big Dreamer Productions and creator of Variant 31 said “We have made the decision to postpone the opening of the Production so that we may ensure the entirety of the experience exceeds the highest possible standard.
For over two years Variant 31 has been in development, and every element from the ground breaking technology, score, costumes, special effects, creatures, and the purpose built venue are never before seen. Each element is custom crafted for us by industry leading artists from around the world. With all of these unique components, it takes a great deal of care and effort to ensure they each function in perfect harmony.
The last thing we want to offer guests is an experience that may not excel in every possible way.
For ticketing queries, we ask that guests contact their point of sale where they may rebook their experience. We look forward to screaming with all of you this autumn!”
The opening production will feature a cast of 150 highly trained professional actors; experienced in parkour, aerial acrobatics, stage combat, fire poi, and intense full contact performances, making Variant 31 the largest employer of actors and theatrical technicians currently running in the West End.
Unlike traditional theatre, Dalton Dale and his co-producers wish to explore clever and innovative techniques to engage today’s audiences who simply crave more than the traditional theatrical experience. By creating this ambitious new venue, they have provided a world of possibilities for audiences to fully immerse themselves and explore the colossal structure, which occupies an entire city block in the heart of London’s West End.
