SEOUL, October 13 (Yonhap) -- The U.K's immersive theater group "Darkfield" will be visiting Korea with their three main pieces. 

Multi-sensory experimental theaters, "Ghostship," "Flight," and "Coma" will be performed at the U+ stage, Seoul LG Art Center located in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, starting from October 11 until November 19. LG Art Center announced on Thursday. 
 
Darkfield is a creator team created by the U.K. author Glen Neath and sound designer David Rosenberg. The team creates multi-sensory experimental theater in a huge container, allowing the audience to fully immerse themselves in the story.

"Ghostship," one of the three episodes, invites the audience to the meeting of the dead souls to have a conversation with them, held on a passenger ship. The show will make a reappearance of the "Speaking to the Dead", which was a boom during the Victoria era, in the 19th century, in the middle of the ocean, and the audience will participate in the ritual, which is meant to talk with the dead souls. The show first premiered in the U.K. Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2017, and it was also the first piece to present the fictional world of Darkfield to the audience. 
 
"Flight" and "Coma" were the next pieces produced by Darkfield after receiving positive reviews for "Ghostship." In "Flight," the audience is transported to an unknown world while sitting in a familiar seat on a plane. The concert hall will give the audience the same experience as boarding a real plane as the seats are actual passenger seats dissembled from an actual plane. 

 
In "Coma," the audience lies directly on a three-story bed, which looks like a hospital room and faces another reality where they meet in a state of deep unconsciousness.
 
Korean actors selected by the original creators of Darkfield through an audition will be performing. The audio was re-recorded in Korean at a studio in London. 
 
The three are independent performances, and the audience will be able select and watch the performance they want. Pregnant women, children under the age of 14 and adolescents, and audiences with spinal and heart disease are restricted from watching.
