On Culture Night, The Playhouse is opening its doors for this special work-in-progress showing. You're invited to step inside and experience a mix of music, lighting, and visuals that come together to create something new. The atmosphere shifts and changes, just like the world around us, and you're encouraged to get involved and see how your presence shapes the experience. Liminal is an immersive live event that celebrates the Autumn Equinox with a multi-sensory spectacle, inviting audiences to step into the threshold where light meets shadow.

Liminal is an immersive live event that transforms the experience of transition into a powerful, multi-sensory spectacle, inviting audiences to step into the threshold where light meets shadow. At a time when balance feels both urgent and elusive, Liminal creates a space to reflect on our own precarious position in the climate crisis—halfway in the light, halfway in the dark, poised on the edge of change.
As participants enter the experience, they are drawn into an environment where boundaries blur and the ordinary becomes extraordinary. The event unfolds through a dynamic fusion of music, light, and evocative imagery. Pulsating rhythms and organic soundscapes intertwine with shifting beams of illumination, casting the space in a dance of brightness and darkness. Subtle atmospheric cues evoke both the beauty and fragility of the natural world.
Liminal is more than a performance; it is an invitation to pause and consider the choices that define our collective future. The perfect balance of light and shadow serves as a living metaphor for the urgent need to restore harmony to our planet. Audiences are encouraged not only to witness, but to reflect and engage with the questions at the heart of the climate crisis: What does it mean to stand at the threshold of transformation? How can we move from uncertainty to action?
In this shared moment, Liminal asks us to embrace the possibility of change. It is a call to awareness, a celebration of balance, and a reminder of our power to shape what comes next. Here, in the space between, transformation is not just possible—it is necessary.
This is a preview of what Liminal will become in the future. It's an experiment, and your feedback and reactions will help shape where it goes next. Join us at The Playhouse on Culture Night, be part of the process, and help us find new ways to imagine change together.
