An epic light show will light up Tower of London with an epic specticale spanning 13.8 billion years of history.
About Us is a show that combines live choirs from across Britain, poets, school children and a multimedia installation to narrate our existence, from the Big Bang to now - no small feat.
The choirs from all four UK nations will perform an original score by composer and musician Nitin Sawhney for the series of shows, which will be projected onto the Tower of London from November 16 to 19.

Shows are free, suitable for all ages and run every 30 minutes between 5.30pm and 9.30pm each evening.
The 25-minute projection includes words by some of the most exciting poets writing in the UK today, including Llŷr Gwyn Lewis, Jen Hadfield and Jason Allen-Paisant.
By day, pop-up multimedia installations will showcase the creativity of children with the winning entries of an international poetry and coding competition for young people shown alongside poems and Scratch animations created in About Us school workshops.
About Us has been created by Islington-based 59 Productions, working with The Poetry Society and Stemettes a charity that supports young women and non-binary people into STEM careers.
About Us is on from November 16-19 every 30 minutes between 5.30pm and 9.30pm, with a run time of 25 minutes.
