A Possibility, the show-artwork on which Rob has been working with the visual artist Germaine Kruip since last September, opened to remarkable acclaim at the 2025 Manchester International Festival, with reviewers describing it as “a majestic artwork, where light itself becomes one of the main characters.”
The first half of the show consists entirely of light - and of darkness, with the environment of the Royal Northern College of Music carefully controlled to ensure that light is only seen where intended, nowhere else. In the second half, four percussionists arrive on stage bringing another level to the experience.
Rob was delighted to work with the visual artist Germaine Kruip, composers Hahn Rowe and Emily Howard and dramaturg Bart van den Eynde to create this remarkable, unique piece of work - and also to return to the Manchester Festival ten years after helping to create the acclaimed show Tree of Codes.
It is hoped and expected that, like that show, A Possibility will be seen around the world. Details to follow as they are confirmed.
