An epic light show is set to light up Tower of London which gives us a run down of 13.8 billion years of history.
About Us is a show that combines live choirs from across Britain, poets, school children and a multimedia installation to narrate our existence, from the Big Bang to now. It sounds incredible, almost impossible but most definitely intriguing.
The choirs from all four UK nations will perform an original score by composer and musician Nitin Sawhney for the series of shows. Honestly, it sounds really lovely, especially as the shows are all free.
The 25-minute projection includes words by some of the most exciting poets writing in the UK today, including Llŷr Gwyn Lewis, Jen Hadfield and Jason Allen-Paisant.
By day, pop-up multimedia installations will showcase the creativity of children with the winning entries of an international poetry and coding competition for young people shown alongside poems and Scratch animations created in About Us school workshops.
About Us has been created by Islington-based 59 Productions, working with The Poetry Society and Stemettes a charity that supports young women and non-binary people into STEM careers.
When: 16th -19th November (Each show runs every 30 minutes between 5.30pm and 9.30pm, with a run time of 25 minutes).
Where: Tower of London
