Lyric

Now extended until 10 May

Contains Violence

'Max and Ben Ringham's acoustic design is remarkable... more than once I had to prise an earpiece away from my head to check that various sounds were not occurring in the real world... a skilfully crafted curio'. Financial Times

Take your seats on the Lyric terrace for this unique site-specific performance. Watch the windows around you through binoculars, catch people unaware and discover a Hitchcock-style thriller that starts at sundown. Through high-fidelity headphones, you will hear each whisper, each secret, each threat as clearly as if you were in the room.

Part mystery and part peepshow, Contains Violence is a surreal snapshot connecting the secret lives of others created by David Rosenberg using breakthrough audio-technology, and buildings on the West London skyline. David is a founder member of Shunt, whose work includes Dance Bear Dance, Tropicana and Amato Saltone.

Not recommended for anyone under 18

This show starts after sunset in Apr 8.30pm, May 9pm

Don't forget to wrap up warm and prepare yourself for being outside - our top tip is to bring gloves.
