Barnaby Booth – Never Get to Heaven

Then the morning comes, the day starts again and the light changes.

Never Get to Heaven tracks twenty four hours in the life of ten people. Taking place in the gap between two sunsets, it uses light and intricate movement to look at how hope works, and how it changes hour to hour.

Barnaby Booth is an award winning choreographer and lighting designer based in the UK. In his work, he is inspired by spirituality and the supernatural – themes he intersperses with explorations of mental health and social interaction.
