Immersive Theatre and Music: Step into In The Box
A nifty little Pitchblack Playback mask!
Here at The Old Market (TOM), we’ve always believed that the arts should surprise, provoke, immerse and innovate.
That’s why we created In The Box – a unique space that pushes the boundaries of what performance can be. Whether you’re here for a cutting-edge music set or a thought-provoking immersive theatre show, In the Box takes you beyond the stage, beyond being just an audience member and into a world of immersive experiences.
What Is In the Box?
In the Box is our custom-built performance environment – an enclosed, projection-mapped room where visuals wrap around all four walls. It’s part theatre, part club, part digital canvas and entirely unforgettable.
By surrounding audiences with dynamic visuals, sound and lighting, In the Box transforms how we engage with live performance. This is immersive theatre and live music reimagined, an experience like no other.
A New Era of Immersive Theatre
For theatre lovers, In The Box offers something truly special. Here, traditional boundaries between performer and audience member dissolve. You become part of the show. Whether it's a spoken word piece brought further into existence by reactive projections, or a physical performance set against an otherworldly digital backdrop, every show becomes a sensory journey.
Immersive theatre is about more than visuals – it’s about presence. It asks you not just to watch, but to feel. And In The Box delivers this in spades.
We’re proud to be at the forefront of this growing art form, giving emerging and established creatives alike the tools to experiment, challenge expectations and tell their stories in powerful new ways.
Club Culture Meets Cutting-Edge Tech
But In The Box isn’t just for theatre. It’s also home to some of Brighton & Hove’s most electrifying club nights. DJs and live electronic acts take full advantage of the 360° visuals, creating an atmosphere that’s part club night, part art installation.
Why It Matters
Audiences are craving a deeper connection to arts and music and more dynamic storytelling. With the world so fast-paced, it’s hard to find the time to just immerse yourself in a theatre show or truly listen to spoken word or new music. Offering immersive experiences such as In The Box and Pitchblack Playback allow you to take time out of your schedule and truly immerse yourself in the arts.
Alongside immersion, In The Box highlights what is possible when art meets technology. It’s not about gimmicks – it’s about creating experiences that linger.
Whether you’re here to dance, to listen or to witness something new, you’ll find yourself transported into a wonderful world of immersive experiences.
