north sea sirens

Periplum’s new touring production North Sea Sirens is launching with two free events on Friday 27th & Saturday 28th September 2024. One is an adventure on a coach from Saltburn-by-the-Sea to an audio experence in an undisclosed location, and the other is a large-scale installation on Saltburn beach.

NORTH SEA SIRENS

The Sirens have been singing their songs across the North Sea for centuries. What if these songs were not to lure ships to crash into the rocks, but to guide us away from dangers of our own making, & remind us of the treasures of our natural world.

Sign up for this poetic, sonic odyssey celebrating some of East Cleveland’s magical landscapes, and the industrial heritage, myths and folklore they hold. Periplum's North Sea Sirens will take you on a bus ride from Saltburn-by-the-Sea to an undisclosed location, where you will go on a 50-minute headphone walking tour before being bussed back to Saltburn.

THE SPIRAL SHORE

At 9pm on 27th & 28th September, a fire installation will appear for half an hour on Saltburn beach as a gift to the community. Make a wish on a spiral shore for all the ships that come and go, all the souls that land and leave, and all those sailing on distant horizons.

Periplum’s Spiral Shore is a meditative reflection. It can be viewed from Marine Parade, where there will be an accompanying soundtrack.

This event is free and unticketed.

North Sea Sirens is funded by Arts Council England and Tees Valley Combined Authority, and commissioned by Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council.
