Part gig, part light show, part apocalyptic rave, Lighthouse is a euphoric new live performance from musician & composer Jez Colborne.

A veteran lighthouse keeper is posted to a barren rock in the middle of the ocean. He loves the isolation. But after he loses contact with the mainland, decades pass. As oncoming automation threatens everything he’s ever known, can he protect the lighthouse or has his time alone blurred the lines between reality and fantasy?
Premiering at BD: is LIT, Lighthouse is a dark sonic trip with a new industrial soundtrack inspired by jungle, drum & bass and breakbeat. Blending original music with projection, film, sculpture & movement, Jez explores his own relationship with isolation and the comfort he has found in music and the distant sounds of a siren echoing across the sea.
