Carriageworks Theatre invites you to join them on a magical mystery tour of the city, led by a sonic sphere with a mind all of its own. Can you keep the sphere happy? Can you unravel its coded directions and uncover a secret route around the city? Can you find your way to the final destination and the meeting of the spheres?
The sphere will lead you on a merry chase, an epic adventure that will take you take from familiar ground into unexplored territory. You’ll wander all over Leeds, rediscovering the city at every turn, and as you explore, you’ll begin to realise you’re not alone. By the time you reach the end, you and your sphere will be part of a pulsing, chiming chorus of electronic sound.
Congregation is the brainchild of award-winning sound artist, theatre-maker and composer, Ray Lee. When it premiered in 2019, Ray never could have imagined the world we’re in now, but this safe, socially distanced outdoor performance is uniquely suited to the current times.
Congregation comes to Carriageworks Theatre on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th June 2021. Performances take place at 12pm, 2pm and 4:30pm. Spheres are £5 and you only need one per group.
