The Lighthouse

An interactive light and sound wonderland

The Lighthouse beckons young people and their adults to explore the endless wonders of light. This immersive promenade performance is part installation, part scientific quest, part rave.

Designed for all ages, this house of marvels is full of intimate vignettes and grand lighting. A series of interconnected rooms await, each full of hands-on experiences exploring a different property of that elusive yet fundamental force of nature: light.

Taking light out of traditional theatre spaces and moving it into a new terrain, The Lighthouse puts children and their families at the centre of an exploration of light.

The Lighthouse is a conversation with the universe. It exists at the intersection of science and art, sparking curiosity at the world around us. Through its innovative use of light, sound, perspective and reflection, the performance encourages you to engage and experiment.
