SUMMARY:Luminiscence
DESCRIPTION:Luminescence is a ground-breaking take on the concept of son et lumière; a 360-degree video projection experience\, using 24 laser projectors\, which will bring the Cathedral to life in breath-taking ways with colour and imagery\, culminating in a vision of what the Cathedral may one day look like fully covered in mosaics. \nThe experience is accompanied by carefully selected music accompanied by a recorded poetic narration by Hugh Bonneville\, specially scripted for the Cathedral by Tim Whitnall. \nFour nights a week (Wednesday to Saturday) from 1 July 2026 to mid-September.
