Love Lust Lost
Welcome to a world of subterranean delights.
Greetings and welcome aboard. I have been expecting you. The real story of the ocean depths begins here. Wonders that defy my powers of description. Secrets that are mine alone, but which I would be prepared to share with you… Will you brave the journey? Embark upon a strange craft, helmed by the mysterious Captain. Descend to shimmering, new depths in a subterranean world, where an epic theatrical playground awaits your exploration, set across a vast 40 spaces in an abandoned theatre. Encounter thrilling adventure and luminescent splendour as you piece together the truth of this otherworldly realm. Will you uncover the mysteries of the deep? Melding music and theatre, soundscapes and spoken word, circus and dance, cryptology and sci-fi, scent and taste, Love Lust Lost is an enigma, a quest, a performance, a hallucinogenic playground, and, above all, enthralling. You are encouraged to move through the venue at your own pace, whether by following the residents of this decadent underworld or charting your own course. There are a number of entrance times each night – choose your session start time with your ticket type. All performance sessions last 80-90 minutes. Imbibe in some Dutch Courage before and after your voyage at The Kraken's Lair, a bespoke bar offering choice libations and salty bites, courtesy of The Kraken Black Spiced Rum. The perfect bootleg accompaniment to your journey to the ocean’s depths.
