These Walls Opens WED 21 OCT 8 PM

To commemorate the anniversary, King’s College is funding a series of individual events, concerts and talks, conceived and organised by fellows of the college and professionals, but mainly Cambridge students. More information can be found on the King’s College website.

THESE WALLS is a theatrical event devised, performed and run by current Cambridge students. An exploration of the college archives reveals that theatrical performance has often suffered through the years due to the restricted viewing of the ante chapel seating and the echoing acoustic that makes the reception of dialogue extremely difficult.

Our response is an immersive performance that leads the audience through the entire chapel, incorporating light, sound, music, voice and movement, highlighting the building’s spectacular architecture in entirely new ways.

The creative team is comprised of students with a range of experience and knowledge, including directing, lighting and sound design, choreography and musical direction. Our aim is to use a collaborative devising process to develop an production which responds to the late gothic architecture and the chapel’s 500 year history of college use, within the context of contemporary theatre practice.”
