Radcliff is an immersive journey in the form of a theatrical podcast that transports us to early 20th-century Sherbrooke. Created by the Mirari team in collaboration with Traces et souvenances, this sound experience unfolds between the gorge of the Magog River and the grounds of the former Winter Prison.

Immerse yourself in a fictional drama inspired by true events: the last public hanging carried out by the infamous executioner John Radcliff. Three narratives — Béa, Kidman, and Sister Marie — each offer a unique perspective on the same tragic event, unveiling the secrets of a crime, tormented souls, and places haunted by the past.

Armed with only their phone, a pair of headphones, and the custom-designed mobile app, spectators move at their own pace, from one station to the next, along a 40-minute route. The three distinct stories draw participants into worlds that are at times haunting, at times deeply moving, all carried by an entrancing original soundtrack.
