Pick up some headphones and immerse yourself in a sound world created by two blind performers exploring and navigating public space. Rediscover Spitalfields through sound in this fascinating collaboration between music, dance and performance, placing you at the centre of a unique sensory experience.

As the long cane rolls across the surface of each space, you will hear its sound, combined with live music and spoken and sung audio description to create a unique experience of ‘sonic vision’.
