this tale not as a gothic nightmare, but as a love story, while also increasing awareness
and understanding around the power of music for people living with dementia.’
The company’s decision to launch by addressing the effects of dementia is no
coincidence. Dementia-friendly performances and talks will feature among the 14 nights.
Theatre of Sound has also established a creative participation project in partnership
with Live Music Now, Rare Dementia Support and composer Electra Perivolaris in
parallel with the production. Named ‘Judith’s Castle’, it will feature a new work from
collaboration between the London Sinfonietta, musicians from Live Music Now and
members of families living with dementia. It will be premiered on the set of ‘Bluebeard’s
Castle’ at Stone Nest.
The company’s mission statement says, ‘Theatre of Sound brings immersive storytelling
through drama, music and electronics all in a singular experience.
‘Our mission is to break down boundaries between genres, utilising our unique style of
storytelling to serve the purpose of our productions, overcoming traditions that separate
art forms from audiences.
‘At Theatre of Sound, we value invention, equity and diversity, telling stories that are
relevant, accessible and previously untold.
‘We believe that great art and innovative drama are not privileges of the elite, but a right
for everyone.
’We create a 360 experience through sound, spoken word and design, placing you at
the heart of a production.’
