Out Of The Darkness
Our nighttime soundscape experience
Out Of The Darkness is a night soundscape performance, taking place after dark, deep in nature in the Somerset countryside. This is a chance to experience nature in a unique way you will never forget.
​
You will walk by torchlight into a special place in the Heal Somerset site, take your seats and the performance will begin. First, you will listen out for the real sounds of night-time wildlife and then you will journey into a thrilling soundscape of night creatures, blending the ancestral with the present day in a glorious and unforgettable composition. Nothing quite like this has ever been done before.
​
Out Of The Darkness is also a provocation, challenging our mute acceptance of a near-silent British countryside and celebrating the power of rewilding to create a new symphony of night sounds.
