Beneath the Waves: A Festive Light & Sound Experience

Beneath The Waves, a light and sound installation presented by Squidsoup

Descend into the historic dry dock and immerse yourself in an underwater sensory experience: Hundreds of suspended orbs transform the space into a luminous seascape, tracing the SS Great Britain’s voyage from the icy depths of northern waters to the warm, golden shimmer of distant shores.

As you wander beneath the hull, waves of colour and sound wash over you – muffled echoes from the surface world mingle with the rhythms of the sea, voices of crew and passengers drift through the space, and the distant sounds of far-flung lands emerge as the journey unfolds.

This mesmerising installation captures the wonder of maritime exploration and the transformative power of embarking into the unknown – a celebration of adventure, discovery and imagination beneath the waves.

Squidsoup are internationally renowned for their immersive light artworks, bringing captivating installations to audiences around the world.
