north sea sirens

Periplum’s poetic, sonic odyssey celebrates our magical landscapes and the heritage, myths and folklore they hold, transporting audiences for a 50-minute headphone experience to sites where nature and human industry intersect.

North Sea Sirens launched in 2024 with two free events in East Cleveland - one was an adventure on a coach from Saltburn-by-the-Sea to an audio experience in a secret location, and the other was a large-scale fire installation, The Spiral Shore, on Saltburn beach. The production will continue to tour with site-responsive performances in 2025, and is available for adaptation to sites around the country.

The project is funded by Arts Council England and commissioned by Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council, with additional funding from Tees Valley Combined Authority supporting local creatives to train and take paid roles in the production.
