The Storytellers by Luxmuralis comes to Truro Cathedral for January 2027!
An Immersive Celebration of Storytelling
Truro Cathedral is set to host The Storytellers, a mesmerising immersive light and sound installation by the acclaimed artistic collaboration Luxmuralis. This exciting new theme builds on the success of previous Luxmuralis installations, bringing a fresh and inspiring perspective while continuing their celebrated tradition of transforming historic spaces into extraordinary immersive artworks.
Transforming the historic cathedral into a breathtaking canvas of colour, music and imagination, this remarkable experience invites visitors of all ages to step inside a living tapestry of stories that span centuries of human expression.
A Journey through the History of Stories
At the heart of The Storytellers is a journey through the evolution of storytelling itself. Visitors will explore a series of spectacular sound and light artworks, each representing a different chapter in humanity’s creative heritage. From the earliest oral traditions through to the enduring classics of world literature, the installation guides audiences across time and culture. Ancient texts, myths and legends seamlessly blend with the imaginative worlds of renowned authors. Children’s classics, fantasy, romance, poetry and folklore are brought vividly to life through striking visual projections and an evocative, richly layered soundscape. Each genre unfolds within the cathedral’s architecture, offering a unique and immersive encounter with storytelling in its many forms.
The Art of Luxmuralis
Developed from the concept of Son et Lumière, Luxmuralis’ work combines contemporary media with years of expertise in fine art. Their immersive installations unite light and sound to create powerful artistic experiences, reimagining historic interiors in ways never seen before. Luxmuralis pioneered a unique approach to transforming cathedrals and sacred spaces, creating the first model for large-scale immersive exhibitions of this kind within such settings. Their work has opened the doors for new audiences to engage not only with contemporary art, but also with the historic environments that host it.
Often described as creating “the stained-glass windows of our time,” Luxmuralis paints with light, drawing on art historical context and architectural detail to produce works that are both visually stunning and emotionally resonant. Their installations are not simply decorative; they are designed to evoke, to engage and to inspire.
