Is this just about listening in the dark?
No. The dark is of course vital… because when you take away your sense of sight, you change how your brain processes sound.
But what sets this show apart is this:
Imagine you’re in a room with 30 dancers performing everywhere around you. Now imagine they’re musicians instead, but still moving - in what we call ‘sound choreography’ - in ever changing formations. Imagine what that sound feels like - coming at you from… well… everywhere, and when the musicians & sound are so close you can almost feel them. And then add darkness.
This is in the dark. This is our SoundChoreography™ Dark&Spatial™ approach, and it has never been attempted before.
Is the experience seated or standing?
All audience members are seated throughout.
Is it like anything else I will have been to?
Honestly, we don’t think so. The show is a completely new way of experiencing live music, driven by the combination of a) the performers & audience in darkness, and b) the choreographed sound. Together these aspects completely change how you hear & feel sound.
According to critics, we’re redefining live music.
What’s HUSH, and what’s PULSE?
These are the names of our two shows.
HUSH is about to start touring the UK. It’s a cross-over of ambient, Scandi, nu-folk & experimental, with hints of electronic & classical. PULSE is our new show, performing in London only this year. It has more movement & energy, with a bigger sound & more drive.
Both explore & rework obscure tracks by well known artists as well as obscure tracks by obscure artists, and both share our trademark approach - profound, raw, cathartic, euphoric, ethereal.
We keep you in the dark about the exact music though, until you leave, when you’ll be given a programme so that you can explore.
Who’s performing?
A hidden collective of 30 multi-instrumentalists & singers, all live & unamplified. Think a genre-bending cross between a band & an orchestra and you’ll be about right.
You won’t see the performers until the very end of the show.
How long are the shows?
75 minutes.
Where are the shows happening?
London & across the UK. We use a mixture of churches, cathedrals, warehouses, museums & town halls. Each venue has its own unique architecture & surface, and so each venue acts as a unique instrument - we adapt the sound choreography for every single building.
When do the shows take place?
We perform two shows per night, always after dusk - one for early birds, and one for night owls. Typically all our shows take place on Wednesdays - Saturdays throughout the winter season, beginning in late October & ending in late March.
Do I need to be on time?
Yes. The doors will close at the advertised start time for each experience. We aren’t able to let people in, or refund latecomer tickets - once we go dark, we go dark.
Are the venues accessible?
Our aim is for all our show to be fully accessible, however with some heritage spaces this is not always possible. If you have any questions, please email our accessibility team.
How dark is it?
Because we perform in historic buildings, a small amount of natural light may be present in the space itself. When you arrive, to give you full immersion we provide you with a sleep mask - included in your ticket price. We’ll explain why it’s best to wear them at the start of the show.
Is it scary or theatrical?
It’s not scary. And though we love the immersive experiences that really challenge you or blow your senses with visuals & clever technology, this one is the antithesis, and strips the excesses away.
Is it suitable for children?
No under 10’s, thank you. If they start fidgeting it’s distracting for others & would be stressful for you also.
