Dread Falls Theatre

Father Dagon is Dread Falls Theatre's new theatrical experience. Actors, dancers, musicians & visual artists will work together to create a world in which roaming audiences experience Lovecraft's fiction through multi-disciplinary storytelling.

Lovecraft said, "The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown." This is the main inspiration transferring his work from page to stage. By creating a performance where the audience are free to roam, DFT has removed the comfortable space between audience & performer, creating unknowing & fear, intensified by using physical storytelling as an unknown language, much like that of Lovecraft's creatures.

Music will play a large role in the immersive experience. Improv musicians will interact with the movement of the performers. To further increase exposure of Lovecraft to participants, several gallery artists have been invited to display Lovecraft inspired works in the bar.
