Where Light Falls: Poems at St. Paul's Cathedral
Using St Paul's grand façade as a canvas, leading creatives Double Take Projections will transform the building after dark with new poetry, powerful visuals and archive photography to tell the fascinating story of the St Paul's Watch volunteers who risked their lives to protect the cathedral during the Blitz.
A new poem, 'From the Log Book' by Keith Jarrett, has been created for Where Light Falls in collaboration with local school children, refugees and migrants with lived experience of conflict, and facilitated by The Poetry Society. Visitors will be immersed in atmospheric light and sound as they travel around St Paul's witnessing the poem unfurl.
Part of Fantastic Feats: the building of London, the City of London’s six-month cultural events season and Historic England's Loss and Destruction Season.
There will be a companion piece at Coventry Cathedral 14-16 November.
