The Dark

The Dark can be wondrous. There’s no need to be scared. It’s for stars and for crystals, for adventure and dreaming. From the depths of the Earth to deep outer-space, The Dark is there for exploring, for meeting the unknown.

The Dark is for listening. It’s for feeling and glowing. Transforming senses into superpowers, The Dark expands what you can see. Making the invisible visible, The Dark is for learning and asking the big questions: what’s in there? What is that? How does it work? What do you see?

The Dark has no edges. It shifts shape and transforms. First a bedroom, then a forest, then a gateway to a land of giants, it is magical and many things – to be discovered one by one.

We know it seems impossible, but The Dark is a somewhere you can visit. And it has 100 Guardians of The Dark to help you find your way. Children from all over Western Sydney put their hands up and shared their stories, offering treasures with their tales of the times they’ve met The Dark.

So, here’s your invitation from The Dark, to make acquaintances, to go on an adventure and discover the wonder it holds.

During 7–8 November, this exhibition is free with an opening weekend general admission ticket. The allocation of free general admission tickets has been exhausted – but you can still guarantee entry by booking a ticket to Task Eternal or another Opening Festival program.
