About this event

Part performance, part light show, and part immersive sonic experience, Lighthouse is a euphoric live performance from musician and composer Jez Colborne, produced by Mind the Gap, exploring themes of isolation, automation, and transformation, through original music, projection, and movement. A veteran lighthouse keeper is posted to a barren rock in the middle of the ocean. He loves the isolation. But, after he loses contact with the mainland, decades pass. As oncoming automation threatens everything he’s ever known, can he protect the lighthouse or has his time alone blurred the lines between reality and fantasy? Lighthouse is a dark sonic trip with a new industrial soundtrack inspired by jungle, drum & bass and breakbeat. Blending original music with projection, film, sculpture, and movement, Colborne explores his own relationship with isolation and the comfort he has found in music and the distant sounds of a siren echoing across the land and sea. Please note: this is an immersive, on-stage performance in the Pentland Theatre. The audience will be standing for the duration. Lighthouse is presented by Jez Colborne. Co-commissioned by artsdepot and Barnet Council as part of Light + Flight Barnet’s Cultural Impact Award initiative, with support from Mind the Gap. Originally commissioned as an Unlimited UK Partner Award 2025 production with BD: is LIT and Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture, made possible thanks to funding from Arts Council England.
