Britain's What's On Event Guide
Shadows of Tintern
An excavation in light, sound and fire
A spectacular site-specific sound, projection and fire installation, inspired by time and place, to dazzle our eyes and startle our imaginations.
As the nights draw in and we head towards winter, we are pleased to be once again partnering with Cadw and Tintern Abbey to bring this unique site specific event to the Wye Valley.
An entertaining evening out for all ages, Shadows of Tintern offers a magical night in an outstanding setting. This is a rare chance to walk through the Abbey grounds after dark.
Wye Valley River Festival has commissioned lead artists Mark Anderson, in collaboration with Liam Walsh and Ulf Pedersen, alchemists of sound, light and space, to create this unique event.
Join us on the magical and evocative journey through this spectacular site-specific installation.
Delight in the Abbey grounds as your eyes are drawn to spaces less seen, listening to sounds
typically unheard, in a place not usually accessible after dark.
Shadows will dance across walls, with projections bouncing on ancient stone, harmonic sound and light filling the space to evoke time- past, present and future.
Elements will collide within the Abbey walls with inspiration drawn from the meeting point between the natural, industrial and technological.
Ephemeral blue flames will rise into the night air, breathing life into this magnificent structure.
In Shadows of Tintern you will witness audio visual alchemy, using light, heat, vibrations, electricity, oscillating chemicals and paraphernalia to dazzle your eyes and startle your imaginations.
There will be delicious autumnal treats provided by local independent suppliers: spiced winter warmers, hot chocolate, tasty food and a bar.
