Everything is connected
Have you ever looked up in awe at the night sky and wondered how you’re linked to the stars beyond? About Us is the show for you: an outdoor celebration of our connections to everything around us – past, present and future.
About Us uses cutting-edge projection mapping, animation, music, poetry and live performance to celebrate our place in the universe and the connections between us all. Created by 59 Productions, Stemettes and The Poetry Society with scientists and poets from across the UK, this epic free show combines live performances and multimedia installations – and will be projected at night, for free, on to the landmarks of town centres across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
Join us to explore the magic and wonder of the everyday as we celebrate everything About Us.
Genuinely one of the most stunning things I've ever seen. Beautiful work
