After the success of last year’s tour, FoolishPeople have announced that they will be transforming more of the UK’s oldest and best-loved independent cinemas into the dark and disturbing world of ‘Strange Factories’: an immersive, theatrical and cinematic journey that places the audience at the heart of a haunted feature film.
The film tells the story of a writer, Victor who awakens alone having fled a mysterious fire that consumed a theatre  with his band of performers, and becomes obsessed by his unfinished story. He journeys into dreamlike places, all the while haunted by visions from the infamous hum of the Strange Factory. Upon finding his troupe under the wing of an aristocratic noble, he learns of the enigmatic Stronheim, who offers to rebuild Victor’s theatre, so long as he finds the ending to his story…
You are invited to join a secret society- The Imaginari to witness Stronheim’s film unravel, watch its characters come to life around you and lose yourself in the madness of haunted cinema.
Featured in Scalarama and ‘Making Waves Film Festival’, ‘Strange Factories’ has received glowing reviews:
“This film not only frightens, but also inspires—neither of which are very easy to accomplish.” Ambush Bug- Ain’t It Cool News
“The production itself fuses the haunting, authentic dreamworlds of David Lynch and the theatrical philosophies of Antonin Artaud, who believed in the Theater of Cruelty, using stagecraft to create a vivid and disturbing reality to powerfully draw in the audience.” Nick Dawson, Filmmaker Magazine 
 
“I found the entire night an inspiring and beautiful experience from start to finish…It was fitting that a night celebrating the early days of the moving image should be so truly magical.” Neil McComb, the Alt Entertainer
“Immersive theatre pioneers, FoolishPeople have manifested a live cinema production that takes you deep into the heart of a horror film, albeit a surreal one…immersive theatre at its best.” Sarah Stewart, The Londonist 
 
The tour kicks off in September, and a unique highlight will include an immersive screening and performance inside King’s Theatre, a venue that scenes throughout the film were shot.
