Live video-opera, this month's Lates theme and enter our competition   Three Tales by Steve Reich and Beryl Korot Wednesday 22 and Friday 24 April, IMAX Theatre Ensemble BPM presents Three Tales, a video opera exploring three momentous scientific events from the twentieth century that examine our deepening relationship with technology; the crash of the Hindenburg zeppelin in 1937, nuclear bomb tests on Bikini Atoll in 1946–1958, and the cloning of Dolly the Sheep in 1996. Created by Grammy Award-winning composer Steve Reich and pioneering video artist Beryl Korot, it features live orchestra and singers, sampled audio, re-processed historical film and interviews with prescient cultural thinkers and is the first opera staged live in an IMAX theatre.  BOOK TICKETS Listen to Three Tales on Spotify   LISTEN Lates: Life Upgraded Wednesday 25 March At this month's Lates, we’ll be delving into human enhancement in an interactive festival that explores the latest advances in biological technology directly with the scientists developing them.
