Cathedra900 invites you to enjoy 900 Years of Light. 900 Years of Light is a multimedia performance taking place at Exeter Cathedral on 2, 3 & 4 October 2013.

The performance is Mark Ware’s response to the building’s 900 year history and the contributions that craftspeople have made during that time.

900 Years of Light is the culmination of Cathedra 900 and Mark Ware’s work over the last 18 months exploring the Cathedral and interpreting its art and architecture through photography, abstract photomontages, 3D artwork and sound.

900 Years of Light will be an evening of film, readings, music and the premiere of Mark Ware’s video composition accompanied by specially arranged music performed by internationally acclaimed trumpeter, Crispian Steele-Perkins and a string trio. The 900 Years of Light video composition will bring together Mark’s images showing details, patterns and architectural shapes, creating illusions of stillness and movement. During the screening of the work, the cathedral will appear to breathe as its vaulted ceiling is cast with slowly changing light, and the live music resonates throughout the building.

Crispian Steele-Perkins will speak about the music, explaining how it fits into the Cathedral’s timeline. The evening’s events will be introduced by actor Emily Kreider, and will include contributions by filmmaker Michael Bickerton, and children who have taken part in Mark’s Cathedra 900 creative writing workshops, led by award-winning children’s author Kathryn White.

900 Years of Light takes place at 7.30pm on 2, 3 & 4 October. Tickets are £5 and available from Exeter Cathedral.
