Aftertide

An immersive audio pilgrimage along the Thames, experienced as a guided night walk on the foreshore or a self-guided journey. Testimonies from coma survivors, their loved ones and clinicians intertwine with Greek myth, music and shifting soundscapes, carrying listeners through five rivers of the underworld to explore memory, mortality and recovery. Aftertide was conceived as an audio journey along the central Thames foreshore, between St Thomas' and Guy's Hospitals. It is divided into five chapters, corresponding to the rivers of the ancient Greek Underworld. You can experience Aftertide in a variety of other ways and locations - but wherever you are, use headphones for the best experience, and allow yourself uninterrupted time.
