Stunning Immersive Audio-Visual Experience at Portsmouth Cathedral

Portsmouth Cathedral

<h2>Advance tickets have now all sold out. However, we have held back tickets for walk-ups and there will also be returns on the night. We suggest you get there early to secure a place.</h2>Octopuses and other Sea Creatures is a stunning immersive light and sound experience inspired by the wonderful Octopus Medicine poems of Becci Louise. Prepare to be amazed.For three nights Portsmouth Cathedral will take you on an adventure of audio-visual magic and mystery. Join us on a journey undersea, experience the wonder of the ocean, explore its depths, and meet the Octopus who secretly sits at its hidden heart.This stunning performance will delight and intrigue you whilst telling the story of the ocean, how humans have impacted it and how it is impacting us.The octopus has long been seen as a threat to seafarers, a monster, an alien species. But what if it is really our friend, a companion species? – If we listen carefully what story will it tell us?With the Octopus as your medicine-animal guide, you will connect with the wonder of the ocean, both as an other-world and an eco-system upon which all our terrestrial lives thoroughly rely. Portsmouth has a symbiotic relationship with the sea and would not exist without it. Generations of local people owe their livelihoods to the ocean, having served in, or helped service the Royal Navy, fished in local waters, or worked in our tourism industry. Octopuses and Other Sea Creatures provides an opportunity for you to revisit your relationship with the city’s waterfront at a time when the ocean’s power threatens the city, while at the same time the harm we have done to it threatens the planet.Funded by Arts Council England and sponsored by Articulate Sage Limited.Book your ticket now. 75% of tickets are available for pre-booking, the remaining tickets (guaranteed to be at least 40 tickets) will be available on the door.P﻿LEASE NOTE: We will be doing large scale projections within the Cathedral with live sound, unlike a cinema you will be close to the projections so they will feel more immersive. There are some spooky moments and some people may get overwhelmed by the experience. This link shows an extract from the projection https://youtu.be/_7pbEefdDKM. We recommend you have a look and consider whether a large scale version of this is suitable for all members of your party.Created by: Roy Hanney, Angela Parks, Rusty Sheriff, Kim Balouch, Becci Louise, Thomas Buckley, Joe Hufton, Leonardo Lami, VEL and Lisa Seaurchin.With thanks to: Christine Lawrence, Kim Balouch, Eileen Phyall, Sandra Maria, Alison Habens and all members of the Octopus writing workshop, Matt Wingett, Neil Brooming and students at Solent University, Splodge Designs, Pamodzi Creatives, Anna Flynn, Groundlings Theatre, Portsmouth Cathedral.W﻿e would like to contact you after the event to get your feedback.
