Projections light up St Giles' - 13th - 16th November

The BEO sent the following on behalf of the Barbican Centre:
Projections on façade of St Giles' Cripplegate
 On the evenings of 13th -16th November 2013, as part of the Barbican's production of Benjamin Britten's opera Curlew River in St Giles' Cripplegate, calm and evocative images will be projected onto the facade of the Church from 6.00pm until 10.00pm. This performance forms part of the 'Barbican Britten' series, celebrating Britten's centenary.  
 The projector will be installed on the Garden Room balcony from 4.30pm each day and removed between 10.00pm and 10.30pm.  The images themselves will be unobtrusive and will be mapped exactly onto the façade of St Giles' Cripplegate, to ensure that there won't be any light bleed onto the surrounding buildings.   If there is an event taking place in the Garden Room during these times the balcony doors will remain closed to ensure there is no noise disturbance from the Garden Room. The technicians installing the equipment are aware of the residential nature of the area and have been briefed to keep noise to an absolute minimum. Curlew River will be one of the highlights of Barbican Britten, and more information about the production and Barbican Britten can be found on the Barbican website, http://www.barbican.org.uk/britten. We very much hope that you'll be able to join us for some of these events and that you will enjoy the projections.
