In The Dark at Southwark Cathedral, Digi Mart USA News (Southwark, London): Audiences queued outside the historic Southwark Cathedral with a noticeable sense of anticipation, as word had spread that In The Dark was the event not to miss. Inside, the atmosphere was even more charged, according to reviewer Michael Holland.
The lights were dimmed, with soft mauve and purple lamps illuminating the columns and arches. A ghostly voice from an unseen location explained the sequence of events and instructed attendees to put on their eye masks, which removed sight and sound from the experience.
The performance then unfolded in the darkness. A tom-tom sounded near the altar, followed by a stringed instrument, voices, a piano and a harp.
A clarinet drifted away softly, and violins, then a choir, rose and faded. Long stretches of silence separated the musical passages, and the reviewer noted that the quiet between songs was as important as the sounds themselves.
The reviewer recognized Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” in a version that sounded different from the original. Later, a passage of singing with the lyric “I wish you could swim, like the dolphins” struck a chord, though the reviewer said it took time to place the song.
At one point, a voice announced that attendees could remove their eye masks. Adjusting to the light, the reviewer saw the thirty musicians, who reprised their opening number.
They moved silently in stockinged feet with their instruments, revealing the choreography of the performance.
Reviewer Michael Holland’s companion, Rene, described the evening as amazing and said she was overwhelmed. Later that night, Rene messaged to say she had cycled home singing “Running Up That Hill” and enjoyed the experience.
The In The Dark Tour is continuing to other centuries-old, historic buildings known for their acoustics.
