At night About Us will transform local landmarks in each of the five stops on its UK tour into a vast canvas combining awe-inspiring liveprojection-mapped animation with poetry, music, and beautiful live choral singing to create a unique spectacle. A raft of freestanding plinths containing dynamic theatrical lighting and LED screens will offer the counterpoint of the human-scale narrative against the vast cosmic scale imagery of the video projection .The evening shows will feature winning entries from the About Us nationwide poetry and Scratch animation competition, led by The Poetry Society and Stemettes, on the theme of ‘connectivity and the universe’, selected by a host of distinguished judges: Poet Laureate, Simon Armitage; mathematician, author and broadcaster, Rachel Riley; Scots Makar, Kathleen Jamie; co-founder and CEO of Stemettes, Dr Anne-Marie Imafidon MBE; writer, poet, performer, educator, UK and International Poetry Slam winner, Keith Jarrett; National Poet of Wales, Ifor ap Glyn; co-founder and Creative Director of body>data>space and Stemette Futures Trustee,Ghislaine Boddington; and award-winning Northern Irish poet, Stephen Sexton.

Acclaimed composer and musician Nitin Sawhney CBE has composed the original score which will be performed as part of the live shows by local choirs. Performances will feature: B.I.G. Hat Factory Choir, with members of Luton Choral Society (Luton). Choir performances of About Us are musically directed by composer, Osnat Schmool, who will conduct alongside local choir leaders.
