Megalith

Beats. Geological bodies. Stone circles. Copper mining. A lyrical smash-fest of a theatre show, made in collaboration with Professor Jon Blundy (Earth Sciences, Oxford University) and Limbic Cinema. Presented by the Schwarzman Centre in partnership with the Natural History Museum and supported by Innovate UK & Arts Council England. Created in association with Limbic Cinema.

Megalith returns after its acclaimed 2022 performance. Rocks, beats and geology come alive in this immersive, deeptime journey into mining, technology and resource extraction. A performer and sound artist playfully duet to deep-time techno, metamorphic soundscapes and the Internet of Things. Neolithic flint tools smash stones and laptops in a wildly physical exploration of copper mining’s 10,000-year role in powering technology. With stunning projection by award-winning Limbic Cinema and sound design by Xavier Velastin.
