Two Bristol natives, pioneering disabled and non-disabled ensemble Paraorchestra and celebrated electronic composer Surgeons Girl, have been commissioned by Bristol Beacon to create an electro-orchestral spectacle, alongside a dynamic visual response from audio visual experts Limbic Cinema for this landmark opening night.
