| Description |
Behind the grand façade of Alexandra Palace an empty Victorian theatre stands forgotten. And for seventy years, a show has been waiting. Waiting for you. You arrive alone. You enter in darkness. In silence. An extraordinary experience begins. The Show’s the Thing is an installation of light and sound in which the theatre itself is the only performer, and it performs for an audience of one. |

| Further Information |
This installation breathes life into the forgotten spaces of a London landmark. The Show’s the Thing is inspired by the history, architecture, sonic structure and state of disrepair of the theatre at Alexandra Palace - the echoing acoustics, the spine-chilling temperature, the lingering other-worldliness and innate theatricality of the building.
