As night falls, the natural world reveals its secrets through an extraordinary blend of light, music, and digital art. The UK is preparing to host the debut of LightCycles, which is an immersive experience created and produced by Moment Factory, the world-renowned multimedia entertainment studio, in collaboration with Fever, the leading live entertainment platform.

This UK debut follows the success of similar installations across the globe, highlighting Moment Factory’s creative expertise. Moment Factory’s immersive storytelling is enriched by the original music of the Barr Brothers, a Montreal-based band known for their intricate fusion of folk, rock, and blues. Their evocative soundtrack creates an emotional undercurrent that amplifies the visual and auditory experience of each installation.

Jonathan St-Onge, the Executive Director for Moment Factory Originals, said: “After successful presentations in Australia, New Zealand, and soon Japan, we are proud to bring this exciting project to the UK. Since 2014, our Lumina Night Walk series has been bringing immersive experiences into natural environments around the world.

“These unique projects have inspired our creative team to reflect more deeply on the human relationship to nature, and this reflection has become the central theme of Light Cycles, as we hope to inspire visitors to connect with the world around them in a new and meaningful way,”
